'Bird Boy' Found In Russia

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.

Pravda said the boy's 31-year-old mum did not talk him and treated him like a bird, forcing him to learn avian language.

Social worker Galina Volskaya said shocked authorities discovered the boy in a two-bedroom apartment with bird mess littering the floor.

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.

Pravda reported that authorities believe the boy is suffering from Mowgli syndrome, after the Jungle Book character who is raised by wild animals.

The boy has reportedly been released by authorities and put in a medical facility.

That's demented. He's like Beak from X-Men, who needs Dominic Monoghan when you have the real McCoy?

I wonder if him and the birds actually communicate or if he just makes chirping noises becasue thats all he knows.FlaminDeath

I suspect he can probably communicate with them using pitch and body language. His mother should be put in the gulag for this.
