Nigel, an African grey parrot, was reunited last week with his owner, Darren Chick, a Briton who lives in Torrance.
When it disappeared Nigel
spoke English "with a British accent", according to the Daily Breeze
newspaper.
"He's doing
perfect," Mr Chick told the newspaper.
"It's really weird. I
knew it was him from the minute I saw him."
The reunion was facilitated
by Teresa Micco, a veterinarian who has running ads for months for her own
missing bird, Benjamin.
When she was contacted by
somebody who had found a bird, Ms Micco realised it was not her bird and
tracked down the actual owner.
Mr Chick says the reunion
brought tears of joy to his eyes, despite the fact that Nigel bit him when he
first tried to pick him up.
It is not known where Nigel
was for the past four years, and Mr Chick said he does not know how the bird
went from speaking English to speaking Spanish.
