Does anyone know how to find a common Hypernym given two words, using WordNet in Java?

For example the hypernym for chicken is bird, and the hypernym for parrot is also bird. So if one provides 

 hypernym_finder ("parrot", "chicken")

the result should be "bird".

(I made a more specific question in another post, with codes and details - maybe a more general one would attract more people)
