Japanesian Singing Parrot

It's just one of those days. Randomly searching on the Internet, hoping for something to catch my eye and provide me with something interesting to blog about. Nothing overly interesting on the main pages, just something on Kobe Bryant and a new death toll for the China quake (btw, its up to 51,000 dead with another 30,000 missing). After being distracted by several people in the IMC, I made my way to the Most Popular section of news. That always works.

Mr. Yosuke Nakamura is not you average Japanese guy. Even though his name sounds like something you would eat at the Sushi House, Yosuke loves to share his name.

So one day Yosuke decided to escape from his cage, for little Yosuke is a bird--a parrot to be exact. After cruising the neighborhood for a while, the gray parrot ran into a problem. He was lost, and Tokyo is not a friendly city for parrots.

Fortunately, Yosuke found a police station and soon some Japanesian police people caught him. I guess Yosuke wanted a lawyer or something because he wouldn't talk to the police. I can just imagine them interrogating the parrot, attempting to force him to talk with people watching from behind a two-way mirror.

After these attempting failed, those Japanese people turned the bird over to some different Japanese People, namely a veterinarian. Yosuke immediately opened up to veterinarian.

"I am Mr. Yosuke Nakamura" said the parrot (But in Japanese)

"Oh my" says the vet (also in Japanese)

"I am Mr. Yosuke Nakamura" said the parrot

The parrot then proceeded to rattle off some vocabulary far beyond that of your average talking bird. Instead of the traditional "Yes" or "Give Me a Cracker", Yosuke decided to impress that vet and began to recite his name, his home address, down to the street number, and his social security number (okay maybe not the last part). While someone was checking the address, the parrot began to entertain the staff by singing several Japanese songs. It would be pretty sweet to have a Japanese singing parrot.

Anyways, they found the Nakamura family and Yosuke was returned to his house after the greatest adventure of his parrot life.
