This is the amusing moment a cheeky pet bird removed its owner's keyboard letters.

The blue Monk parakeet pulled out the key caps on the mechanical keyboard in an attempt to play with them in Shandong, China, on October 16.

Footage shows the playful parrot continuously yanking the blue buttons one by one while its owner places the items back in their positions.

The feathered creature then tried to peek at its keeper's hand when it realised that he was putting the pieces back together.

The filmer said: 'It always removes my keycaps every time I am at my work desk. It seems like it doesn't like me to work and just wants to play with it.'

Monk parakeets are known to be curious animals that are intrigued by many objects and enjoy playing with household items.
