Many pet owners will say that their pets are very much like their children. They yearn for their parents' attention, their love, and affection, and, well, they like to play, too. 

This parrot certainly showed his parents that if they weren't willing to let him play with their toys, then he was going to take them. And that he did indeed, seemingly well. He grabbed their GoPro and even managed to use it to capture his take off...

"GoPro footage uploaded to YouTube on Monday shows the bird perched on a balcony on a bright day. Spotting the camera, the parrot hops over, snatches it and leaps into flight." (Business Insider)

If anything, we think that this would be the most ideal video ad for GoPro. The video footage showed beautiful scenic aerial views and definitely was a beautiful bird's eye view... literally. 

We wouldn't say that parrots are generally quiet and submissive birds, but Keas are known for their cheekiness. So it doesn't come as a surprise that this Kea Parrot decided to take this 'toy' away from its owners.
