A student trained his parrot to assist him in a mobile shooting game.

Amusing point-of-view footage shows the talented parakeet perched on the side of a smartphone while its owner plays a tactical shooter game in Inner Mongolia, China.

The orange-faced bird can be seen pecking and tapping the screen with its talons every time the youngster gives a command, helping to control the game with surprising precision.

The teenager swiped the screen with his thumbs to move the character around and eliminate opponents on July 2.

After each successful kill, he rewarded the parakeet with treats.

The student said he had been training his pet bird for five months and had successfully accustomed it to his commands with ease.

Parakeets are highly intelligent and social birds that can learn complex tasks through repetition and positive reinforcement, making them remarkably trainable companions.
