Cockatiel, phone home!


A missing cockatiel is now safe and sound at home after confirming its own name in a phone call to its owner. Accountant Sue Hill, who found the bird in Wrexham, was put in touch with a possible owner by a local vet.

When she called the number she let the bird listen to the voice at the other end of the phone - at which point it chirped its own name: "Smokey." Mrs Hill said it was the first time the bird had spoken, which convinced her she had found its owner.
