[FONT=Verdana,Sans-serif]SHREVEPORT, La. (AP) - Two years after he was stolen, a talking cockatoo is back home with his owner. It was "I love you, Corey" that brought him back.
Corey and four small dogs that also belonged to dog breeder Diane Bagley all were stolen from her yard in June 2005.
She had left the bird in his cage on her porch and the dogs - a Yorkshire terrier and three Maltese - in her yard, according to a news release from the Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office.
Bagley was talking about Corey to a visitor who recalled hearing a cockatoo say Corey's catch phrase at a mobile home park in Shreveport.
Bagley called the sheriff's office, and told Detective Kay Ward what she had learned.
"Ward wasn't sure she had the correct address until she approached a home in the mobile home park and heard a bird inside squawking, 'I love you, Corey,'" sheriff's office spokeswoman Cindy Chadwick wrote. The woman who lived in the trailer told Ward that another woman had given the bird to her last year. "Corey was returned to Bagley on Wednesday in a tearful reunion," and the investigation continues for the dogs, Chadwick said.
