Little cockatiel sings opera with a lovely vibrato

Yoki the cockatiel sure has some pipes! This lovely little guy makes a variety of sounds, from oinking to emulating television theme music. His bird mom occasionally makes humorous videos where she overlays operatic scales while he preens and prances on screen. #bird #opera #cockatiel #parrot #Singing

Some people say dogs look like their owners - meet the bird who laughs like his. This lovely little guy makes a variety of sounds, from oinking to emulating television theme music.

Yoki the cockatiel is just one bird from Skylend’s Friendly Flock, a YouTube channel devoted to this family’s pet birds. This beautiful boy is the star of the show due to his amazing range of sounds and clever personality.

Yoki can laugh just like his owner. He can mimic other animals, such as pigs. He also loves repeating his favorite television theme songs, from The Pink Panther to the Adam’s Family and beyond.

It’s worth taking a look at all of Yoki’s precious sounds, but the one that captured the attention of the internet was a clip where he appeared to be singing pitch-perfect operatic scales where he preened.

The video is hilarious and adorable. However, Skylend’s Friendly Flock has stated that this is a voiceover. Due to Yoki’s penchant for dramatics when he is preening, they decided to voice some funny opera scales for him.

We have to admit, we couldn’t tell the difference at first. Yoki is an amazing bird and he can perfectly emulate so many beautiful sounds!
