A <a href="https://www.instagram.com/neselikanatlarcockatiel/" alt="parrot breeder" class="on">parrot breeder</a> in Bursa, Turkey, caught this interaction between a trained cockatiel and three wide-eyed nestlings. Be sure you have the sound up!

Is this the chicks' mother teaching them a game? No, according to the machine translation from the original Turkish.<blockquote>Let's remember the legend 😇 Brother sultan parrot who makes his brothers play games so they don't get scared 😍🙋 ♂️</blockquote>If you ask me, that makes it even cuter, as this cockatiel is doing exactly what an aunt or uncle would to make a human baby smile. -via <a href="https://nagonthelake.blogspot.com/" alt="Nag on the Lake" class="on">Nag on the Lake</a>​ #parrot #cockatiel #peekaboo
