'Bird boy' found in Russia | The Sun |HomePage|News

"A BOY can reportedly only communicate by 'chirping' - after living his life in a virtual aviary.

According to reports from Russia, the 7-year-old 'bird boy' has spent his life in a flat filled with bird cages with a mum who treated him like one of her pets.

Volskaya said: “When you start talking to him, he chirps."

And she added that the boy becomes frustrated at not being able to communicate and flaps his arms."

I'm a little confused, because I'd think that if the mother used normal speech when addressing him and the birds even infrequently he'd have picked up at least a little of it.

Maybe they use some form of intermediary language, like Bocce.

Kids in the Hall was about as un-funny as they come.
"Altruism is killing America. We who want to save America must repudiate this killer, root and branch. We must understand and explain to others that the acceptance of altruism necessitates the violation of individual rights... and that the arguments for altruism are baseless..."
