Accomplished Bird.
Budgerigars can be taught to speak quite well but one that can. to all intents and purposes ask its way home must be unique. There is such a bird in Invercargill. The bird had been taught to speak its master’s name and address and the accomplish menl came in very handy recently when the bird flew some distance from its home and became lost. However, it was able to tell the people who found it the name of its owner and where it lived and within a very short time it was returned to its home.
