Apart from the fact that you'd have the best pirate costume and the perfect voicemail and sidekick, there's two new reasons today why having a parrot would be the best thing in your life. One avid owner came up with the fantastic party trick that is getting a parrot to open beer cans on demand, which is sure to annoy some animal rights people but is an amazing trick all the same. It's like living in The Flintstones.

The other intrepid parrot enthusiast is the creator of the BirdBuggy, which is like a NASA Mars Rover for parrots. YouTuber viron1111 created the buggy, which can be computer controlled but more importantly can be beak operated. Yes, parrots, just like dogs, can now drive. Oh the possibilities.

And combined? PARROT BUTLER.
