When you're a kid, getting a loose tooth is one of the coolest things that can happen. It's always a challenge to see if you can wrench that dangling pearly white out of your mouth for good, but a kid named Anton had a little help from an unlikely hero. His parrot decided to play dentist and get a closer look at his wiggly tooth. He started to pull on it, and then, the incredible happened.
Despite being the inspiration for the term "bird brain," our feathered friends can actually be really intelligent. Just like this cockatoo who rocks out to Elvis, this tooth-pulling parrot has a ton of personality! He reminds me a lot of this raven who knows how to solve complex puzzles.I used to have my parents or even my teachers try to remove my loose teeth, but I think things would have gone a lot smoother if I'd trained a bird to do it. Who knew that a bird could figure out the perfect way to solve this dental dilemma?
Best of all, this isn't the first time Anton's bird has acted as his avian dentist— this parrot had pulled out four of his teeth before this one! It's clear that these two have a very strong (if not kind of strange) bond, and I can't wait to see the next tooth this feathered fellow pulls out!
If watching this parrot pull his human's tooth made you smile, SHARE this video with all your friends on Facebook!
