A video of two parrots racing to place rings on pegs has gone viral and won the hearts of viewers. Shared on Instagram, the clip shows a fun yet unexpected moment that left many people amused. In the video, one of the parrots is fully focused, carefully picking up rings and trying to place them on the peg during what seems like a training exercise. This activity is meant to improve their coordination and brainpower, often used as a form of enrichment for pet birds, as per the caption.
Parrot’s Clever Twist In Ring Game
But what surprised viewers was what happened next. Instead of focusing on its task, the clever parrot began removing the rings that the other parrot had already placed and started stacking them on its peg. This wasn’t a one-time thing either; the sneaky bird kept repeating the same trick, taking rings from its companion while the other parrot continued to bring more from the starting point, completely unaware that all its work was being undone.
The caption of the post explains that this was part of a parrot training session where birds learn to place rings on pegs, using toys like Amazon’s Birdie Ring Toss or following guides from wikiHow. These activities encourage parrots to use their intelligence and help keep them engaged.
The caption also highlights the competitive behaviour of the mischievous parrot, suggesting that such actions may stem from instincts like territorial behaviour, especially in captivity, where such instincts don’t always have an outlet.
Smarter, Not Harder: Bird’s Tactic Goes Viral
Since it was shared on July 24, the video has received over 53 million views. Many viewers couldn’t stop laughing and shared their reactions in the comments.
“If work smarter, not harder, was an animal,” a user wrote.
Another said, “He didn’t play the game, he played the parrot.”
“That explains smart work play off,” an individual added.
Someone else commented, “This morning I saw such a cute reel, now my day will go well. I’m very happy.”
Another viewer stated, “Bro uses his 100 per cent brain.”
These parrots didn’t just complete the task, they made the internet smile.
