RUSSIAN 'BIRD-BOY' DISCOVERED IN AVIARY

Russian care workers have rescued a seven-year-old “bird-boy” who can communicate only by “chirping” after his mother raised him in a virtual aviary, it has been reported.

Authorities say the neglected child was found living in a tiny two-room apartment surrounded by cages containing dozens of birds, bird feed and droppings.

The so-called “bird-boy” does not understand any human language and communicates instead by chirping and flapping his arms, Russian newspaper Pravda has reported.

Social worker Galina Volskaya, who was involved is rescuing the child from his home in Kirovsky, Volgograd, said he was treated like another pet by his 31-year-old mother who never spoke to him.

Miss Volskaya said: “When you start talking to him, he chirps.”

Russian authorities say the child was not physically harmed but is suffering from “Mowgli syndrome”, named after the Jungle Book character raised by wild animals, and cannot engage in any normal human communication.

Pravda reported: “(his mother) had her own domestic birds and fed wild ones. (She) neither beat him nor left him without food. She just never talked to him. It was all the birds that communicated with the boy and taught him birds’ language.

“He just chirps and when realising that he is not understood, and starts to wave hands in the way birds winnow wings.”

The boy’s mother signed an abdication form to release the child into care after he was discovered last week.

He is temporarily living in an asylum, but soon will be transferred to the centre of psychological care, according to reports.

It is not the first case of a Russian child being “raised” by animals.

In February 2006 a four-year-old “wolf-boy” was discovered living on the streets with a pack of stray dogs and cats in the Stavropol region of southern Russia.

Social workers took three weeks to catch Arthur Zverev, who barks and runs on all fours.

And in January 2007 a Cambodian woman named Rochom P’ngieng was found wandering naked in the jungle, unable to speak after living among animals since she disappeared from home aged eight.
