Parrot tries to befriend cat, fails miserably

This poor parrot just wants to play!

Unfortunately, his tactic is all wrong. This pesky parrot keeps prodding his target, clearly annoying the poor kitten. Clearly uninterested in any form of friendship, this cat effectively ends their bonding session with a swift strike of the paw.

Better luck next time, little parrot!
