NICK EICHER, HOST: A missing pet cockatiel has been found three years after he went missing!

Roseann Goldberg-Taylor said a bird showed up on the doorstep of her church.

They corralled him in a box as they called an animal rescue group. She told TV station WGAL …

TAYLOR: He was very feisty. He did not want to be in a box. Did not want to be — wanted to get out. His claws were already coming out of the little handle hole there.

A rescue group started circulating pictures of the bird on social media, and it didn’t take long for the bird's owners to recognize him.

But to be absolutely sure it was “Lucky,” one more verification.

The family had taught Lucky to dance to this famous television theme song. Do you know it?

MUSIC: [Andy Griffith theme]

But can you dance to it the way Lucky can? And the way Lucky did, removing all doubt as to his identity!

It’s The World and Everything in It.
