The boy nicknamed “Bird God” has the extraordinary ability to understand bird calls and command them to perform various tasks.
In 2019, a reporter traveled to a small village in Hunan, China, to learn about a boy named Wu Yongtao who can speak the language of birds.
According to rumors, this 12-year-old boy understands the calls of various bird species. Some villagers reported that when he was born, a strange phenomenon occurred, with countless birds flying around his house.
Wu has a very ordinary appearance. When the reporter found him, they observed two birds closely following him everywhere. These small birds were very obedient and did anything Wu asked.
Moreover, the reporters discovered that while training the birds, Wu would occasionally mimic one or two bird calls, and the birds would respond in kind.
Wu has a unique ability to connect with birds.
The reporters were intrigued and asked Wu if he could speak the language of birds. The boy replied that he could not speak bird language and did not know what their calls meant. However, he seemed to have a close bond with the birds.
He mentioned that he found the two small birds under a tree a few years ago. At that time, they were very young, and he waited a long time, but their mother never returned. To save the two little birds, he took them home to care for them.
After a period of careful nurturing, the two fledglings grew and became capable of self-survival. However, they never left Wu’s side and continued to follow him around.
Wu’s story quickly attracted the attention of many experts. They believed that Wu was simply training the two obedient birds, and the idea that he understood bird language was just a baseless rumor.
Some experts approached Wu to test whether he truly knew the language of birds or if he had a special talent for training them. They hired a professional bird trainer to “compete” with Wu.
The experts selected two ordinary birds and placed them in front of the trainer and Wu to see who could tame them first.
While the trainer performed various tricks without success, Wu simply approached quietly, observed, and then called out a few times, causing the birds to fly onto his shoulders.
Many acknowledge that he is indeed the “Bird God”.
Some remained skeptical of Wu’s talent, so they decided to conduct a second, more challenging test.
They took Wu to a forest. The environment here was completely different from his hometown. The birds living here belonged to species Wu had never seen before. Wu showed no fear and joyfully wandered through the forest.
Whenever he spotted a new bird, he would approach and carefully observe it. The birds seemed very calm in his presence. After a while, he appeared to “merge” with the birds in the forest, playing and singing along with them.
After this test, experts fully believed in Wu’s talent.
The fame of “Bird God” Wu Yongtao spread, and his abilities became known to many.
