    NEW YORK – A $10,000 reward is being offered for a parrot that talks with a Brooklyn accent.

    Leigh Ann Frankel says her 18-year-old African gray parrot, named Franklin, disappeared from a Manhattan pet boarding facility the day before Thanksgiving.

    She and her husband, Lee Frankel, are offering the reward for the bird’s safe return.

I wish my parrot could talk a little more. If any of our NY readers happen to find him, before getting the reward, teach him to say UNEASYsilence.com please.

    Hmm I dont know… 10,000 big ones or a talking bird with a Brooklyn accent?

    I think I would keep the bird!.

  2. Mikey says:

    Myke-

    How about $5K and half a parrot? Best of both worlds!!

  3. ClaMs says:

    A talking ‘half a parrot’ is in fact cooler than a complete talking parrot…

    What’s really weird is that I’ve seen a smaller reward poster for a parrot on telephone poles in Redmond, WA. Maybe the two parrots met on the internet and decided to run away and elope?

  5. Myke says:

    Hmm sounds interesting…

    All depends I guess on what half of the bird I got. Top half and still talking, cool. Bottom half and still talking, AWESOME!

  6. Mikey says:

    Personally I’d put up posters offering a $5K reward if found, get someone to find it for me, then get $10K from actual owners.

    An UNEASY $5K for myself.

    Then I can fund my experiments for a half-kitten, half-monkey hybrid!!!

    I think I am going to play an evil prank on them and mail them a rotisserie chicken skeleton that i’ve eaten with a post it note that reads “Franklin was delicious”
