Maybe "birdbrain" isn't an insult after all.

That bird is probably smarter than most Democrats.

There is no excuse to not learn Japanese now. Even a parrot can do it...

My 15-year-old African Grey, Buster, has an incredible vocabulary. “Get in the water. Take a bath.” “Time for night?” “Honey! I’m home!” Greys are the star talkers of the bird world, and they are happy and playful. They live about 60 years, although some have lived as long as 80 years. He is an excellent companion. If anybody asked me for a tip about parrots, I’d say this: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY AROUND YOUR GREY! You might not be happy with the phrases he picks up in YOUR voice! Buster’s apparent favorite phrase (in my voice) is a whispered, “Oh, sh*t.”

The parrot also provided his full home address, down to the street number, and even entertained the hospital staff by singing songs....
thats' a smart good bird, he seems to be much much smarter than most (if not all) Democrats.....It does appear more intelligent than some republicans.

But Yosuke apparently wasn't keen on opening up to police officials.

If there is one thing I can't stand it's a parrot with attitude!

Did Yosuke have a tiny baseball cap that he wears backwards?

My guess it that it's owners later asked the bird why it didn't talk to the police. The response might have been “ hey. I'm no stool pigeon.”

Of course he didn’t talk to the cops -

he’s a parrot, not a canary!

Apparently most streets in Japan do not have names. Since hearing about this I have always wondered how one specifies a street address in Japan.

Father Brown had a parrot who had a remarkable gift. When you lifted the left leg of the bird, it sang "The Old Rugged Cross." When you lifted the other leg, the bird sang "Rock of Ages."

One day the Bishop came to visit. He had heard of Father Brown's remarkable bird, and asked to see the bird perform. So Father Brown took the Bishop to the Rectory, and the priest brought out the parrot. Father Brown then lifted the left leg of the bird, and out came "The Old Rugged Cross." He then lifted the other leg, and the bird belted out "Rock of Ages." The Bishop was ecstatic. He couldn't get over the parrot's uniqueness.

After dinner was served, Father Brown excused himself for a moment to take a phone call. While he was gone the Bishop walked over to the cage, remarking to himself what an incredible bird Father Brown possessed. He decided to try it for himself to see if the bird would respond. He lifted the left leg of the bird, and the parrot began to sing "The Old Rugged Cross." He then lifted the other leg, and as expected, the bird sang "Rock of Ages." "Yes indeed, this is quite a remarkable bird," the Bishop said. "But I wonder, what would happen if I lifted both legs at the same time?"

"I'd fall on my ass, you damn fool!" was the parrot's reply.
