Potty-trained parrot

Parrot Emil has learned many things during his 10-year-long life, but the most unusual is how to use the toilet.

The parrot, who lives in southern Sweden with owner Yasmin Mughal and her partner, was taught to use the loo when he was four months old.



"We noticed that every time we took him out of the cage, he had to do a poo and then we thought we might as well place him on the toilet otherwise there is poo all over the place, so we placed him on the toilet and told him to make a poo, which he did and from that moment he has known that if he goes to the toilet, makes a poo, he can come up," she said.
