The internet is often swamped with animals and birds videos that bring a smile to people's faces. People frequently take to social media to share adorable and amusing videos that leave netizens guessing. However, there are also some that don't have anything special to offer yet are nonetheless delightful to watch. One such example is the latest video where a parrot was seen playing peekaboo with the traffic camera in Brazil. In Curitiba, the southern Brazilian state of Paraná, a turquoise-fronted amazon parrot took a break from flying and became inquisitive after discovering the electronic device. In a charming photobombing moment, the bird was spotted looking into the lens on the busy BR-116 route near the city. 

The short video clip was shared on Twitter by the Road management company Arteris Planalto Sul shared, showcasing the "special guest" constantly simply looking through the lens, stopping the camera's recording as vehicles passed by. The video has garnered more than 2.64 lakh views and around 500 likes. While netizens were enthralled by the parrot's playful antics, it is not the first bird to exhibit an interest in CCTV cameras installed on the Latin American country's roadways. Earlier, in the month of April, two toucans were seen pecking at a camera mounted atop a traffic signal near Campinas, Sao Paulo. The duo even tried to "eat" the camera, as footage showed them biting the device.
