Parrot missing 4 years returns home speaking Spanish

-

A pet parrot that disappeare­d from its home four years ago has been reunited with its owner— and the bird now speaks Spanish. Owner Darren Chick said of his African gray parrot, Nigel, “He’s doing perfect. I knew it was him from the minute I saw him.” Julissa Sperling, who found Nigel outside her home, said, “He was the happiest bird. He was singing and talking without control. I’m from Panama and he was saying, ‘ What happened?’ in Spanish.”
