Cockatiel belts out favourite tunes including funk classic 'September
A woman's cockatiel has gone viral after belting out his favourite tunes including funk classic "September."<br /><br />Grace Robinson, 19, got her pet cockatiel named Kiki four years ago when he was just little.<br /><br />Grace has never tried to teach Kiki songs but since she's had him, he has been like a sponge - lapping up any tunes he hears.<br /><br />He's mastered "If you're happy and you know it clap your hands," the classic iPhone ringtone, Earth Wind and Fire's "September" and even a cheeky wolf whistle.<br /><br />Grace, of Rackheath in Norfolk, said: "He just picks things up. I haven't taught him any of them!<br /><br />"He loves singing to the mirror and if you show him your phone, he'll do the iPhone ringtone.<br /><br />"The first thing he ever picked up was the wolf whistle but I'm not sure where from.<br /><br />"But the thing that really sent him viral was the video of him singing 'September' at 7am"<br /><br />Grace is now trying to add more songs to Kiki's impressive repertoire but admits it may take him a while to learn.<br /><br />She said: "I'm trying to teach him 'Another one bites the dust' by Queen but he's not got it yet.<br /><br />"I think maybe he's running out of storage in his little brain."<br /><br />As well as a self confessed bird nerd, Grace is also a talented artist.<br /><br />She paints pet portraits for people and has since set up a store with Kiki themed merchandise available on it: https://a7ea2d-91.myshopify.com/ <br /><br />Grace said: "My partner's dad helped me set up the whole merch side of it on Shopify and then I made the designs with a little drawing I did of Kiki.<br /><br />"I do pet portraits for people too so I'm just looking to get my artwork out there as well.<br /><br />"I mainly draw nature artwork and pet related artwork, but that's another route that I would like to go down and show people what I can do."<br /><br />Grace posts lots of videos of Kiki on her TikTok page: @kiki.tiel
