With their powerful brains and ability to mimic sounds, parrots are known for their impressive intelligence.
But what happens when you raise a parrot in a home full of dogs?
The results can be as heartwarming as they are hilarious, as this popular clip goes to show.
"Playing for the first time"
Pickles the parrot loves his canine companions. So much so, he's even worked out how to sound like them.
It wasn't until recently that the green parrot became brave enough to actually try playing, and his first game with brown crossbreed Cody became an instant hit on TikTok.
"Growing up in a household of dogs may be affecting the bird", joked the duo's owner.
The clip, which has now been viewed 3.9 million times, shows the pair sharing an adorable moment, with Cody play bowing to instigate a game.
The story of sweet Pickles
Many viewers wondered whether Pickles was also trying to attempt a play bow.
It turns out the social parrot actually has a leg deformity, which his owner believes has been this way since birth. Thankfully, it doesn't cause him any problems, and he's always up for joining in the fun and games.
