A young girl who wanted to help remove her little brother’s loose tooth but was too afraid to do it herself instead had their pet parrot pull it out with its sharp beak.

The bizarre operation was captured on phone footage at their family home in Guangdong, in southern China, on 17th January.

The girl, surnamed Zeng, told how her younger brother had a loose tooth and wanted his sister to pull it out.

However, she was too hesitant to do it herself, but instead had another idea.

She thought to try using their pet parrot which is used to always grabbing food from her mouth and see if she could get it to grab the tooth.

In the tooth, the young girl is seen holding the colourful bird with her hands and bringing it up to her little brother’s mouth.

She then gently pointed it to the loose tooth, and surprisingly, it pulled it out with its hookbill in one go.

They laughed in relief, with her brother adding that he did not feel a thing.

The video later attracted widespread attention on Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, clocking up more than 60,000 likes, over 12,000 comments, and around 300,000 shares.

User ‘Xiaomanman’ commented: “I have six parrots in my house. After seeing this, I sense that when my daughter’s teeth change, we won’t have to spend any money.”

User ‘Yanyan’ wrote: “How could it be so cooperative? Why doesn’t it go for the other teeth?”

And ‘Gorgeous’ said: “How did the parrot know which one to pull out?”
