Nigel the parrot spoke English, now he speaks Spanish

January 01, 2015

In a story from Southern California, Nigel the grey parrot was reunited with his original owner - 4 years after disappearing. Before he disappeared he spoke English with a British accent (just like his owner, Darren Chick). But when he came back, he spoke Spanish. No-one knows the story - Nigel is keeping mum - but he appears to have spent those 4 years with a Spanish-speaking owner.
