Bird Boy Raised As A Pet!

I know it sounds incredible; but this is the first pictures of the ‘bird boy’ who was raised as a pet and can only communicate by chirping.

A seven-year-old boy who can only communicate by chirping after his mother raised him as a pet bird has been rescued by Russian care-workers.

Reports in Russian media claim the child, suffering from “Mowgli syndrome”, was found in a tiny two-room apartment that appeared to double as an aviary, filled with cages containing dozens of birds, bird feed and bird droppings.

Social worker Galina Volskaya, who helped rescue the “bird-boy” from his home in Kirovsky, Volgograd, told Russian newspaper Pravda that he was treated like another pet by his 31-year-old mother.

Because she never spoke to him, Ms Volskaya explained, the boy’s only communication was with the birds he was surrounded by.

“When you start talking to him,” she said, “he chirps.”

Why? What possessed her? I do not understand this!
