Who’s a pretty clever boy then? Parrot can talk in THREE languages and has even mastered the Islamic declaration of faith

A parrot called Rocket has shown he’s got the gift of the gab by talking in English, Arabic and Urdu.
The multilingual blue-fronted Amazon can already be heard shouting the greeting ‘assalamu alaikum’ – peace be upon you – in Arabic to amazed passers-by.
He has also mastered the Islamic declaration of faith – and speaks English, too, with an Asian twang.
Owner Ehsaan Mahmood, 18, of Oldham, said: ‘My dad Tariq used to keep parrots in Pakistan and when he moved to England he wanted to get some here as well.
‘We had a few smaller green parrots six or seven years ago but we’ve had Rocket for two years now.
Blue-fronted Amazons are natural mimics and chatterboxes.
And Rocket loves nothing more than when his cage is taken outside in the summer months.
Mr Mahmood said: ‘We put his cage in the front yard sometimes and he loves to sit on dad’s shoulder and goes for walks.
‘He can get quite an audience when he’s in the mood to talk. People stop outside and just stand and stare.
‘All the kids in the area love him and can’t wait for it to get warmer so he can sit out and chat.
