This is the moment a parrot plays peekaboo with CCTV operators while sitting on a traffic camera on a busy Brazilian motorway.

The turquoise-fronted amazon parrot (Amazona aestiva), also called the turquoise-fronted parrot, was filmed peering into the traffic camera on the BR-116 motorway near the city of Curitiba in the Brazilian state of Parana on 29th October.

The CCTV system is reportedly operated by the road management company Arteris Planalto Sul, which spotted the bird’s antics on the motorway camera and shared the footage on Twitter where it has been viewed 262,000 times.

The state environment authority confirmed to Zenger News that the bird was a turquoise-fronted amazon parrot.

The playful parrot is not the only bird to show an interest in CCTV cameras set up on Brazilian motorways in recent months.

Two toucans were filmed pecking at a surveillance camera on the SP-330 motorway near the city of Campinas in the Brazilian state of Sao Paulo on 18th April.
