Authorities say the 7-year-old boy’s only form of communication was “chirping” after spending his life in a bird cage-filled apartment with a mother who treated him like one of her pets, Pravda reported.
…
“When you start talking to him, he chirps,” Volskaya said.
Volskaya also said when the boy becomes frustrated by being unable to communicate with authorities using bird-talk, he waves his arms as if they were wings.
The boy’s mother has given him over to authorities, who have reportedly placed him in an asylum.
Historically, insane asylums began as leprosariums in the middle ages. Then when leprosy was cured they were repurposed as loony bins. So, people think the boy is crazy, I can understand that. But do the birds in the ‘aviary’ think he is crazy?
