The little bird welcomes the newcomer
The parents film this first encounter between their child and the pet and catch a lovely scene. To greet the baby duly, the parakeet begins to sing.
He whistles a little tune and the baby is blown away by his new feathered friend's song. This is a truly unusual friendship between an animal and a human being.
The little one keeps looking around and seems completely lost in the melody - totally relaxed. It seems that these lucky parents have already discovered a sure means to calm their child.
Let's hope that the little songbird always trills a song at the right moment.
