Something to make you smile as the week begins. An 8-second video is going viral on Twitter showing a pet parrot displaying its perfect on-key whistling skills as it accompanies its human playing the piano.
As the man ‘tickles the ivories’ , the bird sitting on a stand harmoniously joins in. The video was captioned, ''Singing Parrot.''
Take a look – it's bound to make you smile.

Parrots are highly intelligent and social animals that require a lot of mental stimulation and interaction with their human caretakers.
So, how do these birds learn to sing and mimic sounds? According to my research like humans, parrots have a complex vocal system that allows them to produce a wide variety of sounds. They can manipulate their tongue, throat, and beak to create different tones and pitches, and they have a highly developed sense of hearing that allows them to accurately replicate sounds.
