Parrot missing for years returns speaking Spanish

TORRANCE, Calif. (AP) -- A pet parrot that spoke with a British accent when it disappeared from its home four years ago has been reunited with its owner -- and the bird now speaks Spanish.

The reunion was brought about by a Southern California veterinarian who mistook Nigel, an African gray parrot, for her own missing bird, the Daily Breeze reported Sunday (http://bit.ly/1qU5dU3).

Truthfully, I saw it on FB via The Verge with the headline "Not the Onion"

Then Hoya posted the Onion piece on FB....

The dolls are based on the series about Walter White, a high school chemistry teacher who turns into a crystal meth dealer, and his sidekick Jesse Pinkman. The figures have a detachable bag of cash and a bag of methamphetamines.

Best quote in this was: On Monday, Bryan Cranston, the actor who played White, responded to the controversy, tweeting, "I'm so mad. I am burning my Florida mom action figure in protest."
