this is yoshinori. he takes care of me now.is grandmother was my first owner so that makes him the third one. this is his wife, yuko. and this is their daughter, rika. that's right, she'll be my fourth owner some day. haven't you ever thought i was a nuisance staying so long? >> translator: natural for taro to be here. isn't that so? >> that's right. we've been married for over 20 years and i think taro has been a link between the two of us. >> yoshinori's grandmother bought me at a pet shop over 40 years ago and brought me to this house. although she has already passed away, i can still remember how she always used to call out, "hey!" >> i've never actually heard my great grandmother's voice, but by hearing her imitate her, she kind of feels familiar to me. taro is like a living witness to our family history. >> i love going out for a walk. this is a place that i love to visit. there are lots of fellow birds living here. this is the bird village in the prefecture. pet birds whose owners can't keep them anymore are sheltered he
