Monkey Has Mind Blown By Talking Parrot

We can’t stop talking about these interspecies friendships! Seeing how even sworn natural enemies can learn to love and respect each other really makes you put a finger to your forehead and think some things through. But seeing how a little pet monkey tries to impress an exotic bird into befriending him can really be the highlight of your day!Show more

Max the Capuchin Monkey literally drops his jaw as he witnesses Coco the Talking Indian Ringneck Parakeet in this hilarious clip. Coco doesn’t seem to notice the monkey in the background and is rather interested in the old remote control. It looks like he has imprinted on the remote “Cute, cute, cute, cute, cute….Coco cute” he keeps repeating!

Poor Max, he tries to impress this uninterested parrot by waving with his back foot. Or is he trying to blend in as a cockatiel by imitating a crest on his head? It doesn’t seem to work, so he tries to old fashioned method - approach and say hi! Turns out, Coco isn’t ready to make new friends.

Capuchin monkeys may be cute as pets, and they do live considerably long lives in captivity, but considering their way of life in the wild, do you really want to deny them their freedom?
