An Urdu speaking parrot in Britain

Two-yr-old African grey Mittu. LONDON: A parrot in Britain has learnt to speak in English and Urdu as well after the bird's owner trained him to utter Islamic phrases. Two-yr-old African grey Mittu can say the traditional Muslim greeting Asalaam Alaykum and speak other religious passages meaning in the name of Allah, as well as the more customary "who is a pretty boy?", Daily Mail reported. According to Mittu's owner Ghaffar Ahmed, his beloved bird can say "come here", "hello, how are you?" in Urdu along with other religious words. "He (the parrot) speaks Urdu and EnglishRs ," says Ahmed, 36. "He says a few words including Asalaam Alaykum, Bismillah, which means - in the name of Allah - and Shabaash - which means well done," he said. Ahmed tells Mittu likes making all sorts of noises, as this bilingual bird can bark like a dog and make the noise of the refrigerator alarm!   Nandakumar
