Parrot joins Gangnam Style craze
Video of parrot has gone viral

A video of a parrot that has joined the latest dance craze has gone viral.

The parrot, whose name is still unknown, can be seen in the video perching on the back of a laptop computer that is playing Gangnam style, by Psy.

Throughout the song, the parrot clearly sings along - calling "Gangnam style!" at the end of the chorus.

Though the bird hasn't yet mastered the iconic dance routine to accompany its performance, it does bob its head along to the beat.

The video was posted by YouTube user The2apex, and has received over a million views since it was first posted a month ago.

Comments by other users include, "So funny and lovely! This makes my day better!" and "This is a really smart bird".

The original Gangnam Style video has become the most liked YouTube video in history.
