Bird boy.

[Bodzilla]

A YOUNG boy is close to being more bird than human because he was never spoken to while living in a virtual aviary, according to reports from Russia.

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 (http://english.pravda.ru/society/stories/27-02-2008/104245-Bird-boy-0) reported.

The “bird-boy” – whom authorities said suffered from Mowgli syndrome, from the Jungle Book character raised by wild animals - didn't engage in any normal human communication but instead learnt the language of birds, the report said.

The boy’s 31-year-old mother fed him and didn't physically harm him – she just treated him like a bird.

Social worker Galina Volskaya said authorities were shocked when they found the boy in a two-bedroom apartment – which had bird droppings scattered across the floor.

“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.

"Mowgli syndrome, from the Jungle Book character"
that was unexpected.

[Bodzilla]

i can has cheeseburger rep :D?

[Bodzilla]

i wonder if there ever going to be able to pull this kid out of his Bird-brain.

or whether the poor fellas doomed to thinking he's a bird, without a care in the world, and can fly and sing all daylong....
wait a minute..

but seriously dont you learn most of your communications skill when your young, by being talked to. How hard is it going to be for this kid to try and learn it.
Do you think he'll ever be able to talk to people?

and if he does, what will he say the birds tell him.

[n00b1n8R]

I think he'll be able to learn to speak human languages in time. you can teach an old dog new tricks, and I'd love to know what he can contribute to science from his communication abilities with birds.

[Bodzilla]

but if he learns to communicate with people, will he loose his ability to talk to birds?

this could be one hell of a scientific discovery.

[n00b1n8R]

if a man speaks English and learns japenese, as long as he keeps using both, he's not likely to forget either.

[Bodzilla]

but the cockwads have put him in an asylum.

I'm just worried that such a remarkable event like this will be wasted and the kid who suffered neglect from his mother and learnt to talk to birds, will be neglected by the Asylum keepers and not only loose the ability to communicate with birds, but also never gain the opportunity to talk to people.

If russia fucks this up and the kid gets neglected ze missles will be fired.

[n00b1n8R]

I doubt they'll keep him there indefinantly.

[odseraphim]

He's like a bird, He'll only fly away
He doesn't know where his soul is, He doesn't know where his home is
All I need for you to know is
(RINSE, REPEAT)

[Sever]

Hell, I was just talking about something like this with my mom the other day (minus the bird part).

[Masterz1337]

our government should bust him out and make him like, teh next secret spy or somthing.

[Kornman00]

so he can chirp like tweety, how do we know it's actually meaningful :raise:?

[Zeph]

[Dr Nick]

The boy’s mother has given him over to authorities, who have reportedly placed him in an asylum Lab.I know, it sounds like something one of the :tinfoil: would say, but you know it's probably true.

[legionaire45]

I think they should have placed that mother in an asylum as well.
