Behold: something so cute you could not even have conceived of it. British piglet Cinders (named for Cinderella!) is scared of mud — a condition called mysophobia — and wears two teeny tiny little pairs of Paddington Bear wellies to protect her trotters. Her owners, Yorkshire pig farmers Andrew and Debbie Keeble, say Cinders will be spared from the sausage factory (literally): “She’s more of a pet really now and she’s going to live a very long and happy life,” instead serving as a mascot for the Farm Crisis Network, which supports struggling farmers. We love her. [BBC News]

Lost parrot gives vet his name and address

Wed, 21 May 2008 08:02:20 -0400

TOKYO, Japan (AP) — When Yosuke the parrot flew out of his cage and got lost, he did exactly what he had been taught — recite his name and address to a stranger willing to help.

Lost in Tokyo, Yosuke the parrot was able to give his name and address to get taken home.

Police rescued the African grey parrot two weeks ago from a neighbor’s roof in the city of Nagareyama, near Tokyo. After spending a night at the station, he was transferred to a nearby veterinary hospital while police searched for clues, local policeman Shinjiro Uemura said.

He kept mum with the cops, but began chatting after a few days with the vet.

“I’m Mr. Yosuke Nakamura,” the bird told the veterinarian, according to Uemura. The parrot also provided his full home address, down to the street number, and even entertained the hospital staff by singing songs.

“We checked the address, and what do you know, a Nakamura family really lived there. So we told them we’ve found Yosuke,” Uemura said.

The Nakamura family told police they had been teaching the bird its name and address for about two years.

But Yosuke apparently wasn’t keen on opening up to police officials.

“I tried to be friendly and talked to him, but he completely ignored me,” Uemura said.
