A pet parakeet that escaped from its Japanese home has been reunited with its owner - after it was able to tell police its address.

The baby-blue bird flew from its owner's home in Sagamihara, west of Tokyo, into a nearby hotel where it perched on the shoulder of a guest.

Its owner, a 64-year-old woman, had lost a pet bird before and was determined to prevent it from happening again - so she taught it to repeat where she lived, right down to the house number.

After being caught by police, the bird stayed silent for three days before squawking its address.

실종된 앵무새 주소 줄줄 외워 집으로..

일본 도쿄에서 실종된 앵무새가 경찰서에서 집주소를 완벽하게 외워 주인과 상봉했다.

피코라는 이름의 이 새는 주인이 실수로 새장을 열자 집근처의 호텔방까지 날아갔다.

앵무새를 발견한 호텔 투숙객은 경찰에 신고 했고, 피코는 삼일간 경찰서에서 말없이 지내다가 갑자기 주인집의 정확한 도로명과 전화번호를 외우기 시작했다.

새의 주인은 몇 년 전 다른 앵무새를 잃어버려 같은 일이 반복되지 않도록 피코에게 주소를 외우도록 훈련 시켰다고 전했다.
