When your pet wants to play there's nothing that can stop them. They need some attention from their humans and they need it ASAP. Just take a look at an Eclectus Parrot who really wanted to goof off with his owner. And of course he wanted to do it while she was trying to work.

The woman has a large brood of birds living with her. But when one of them was feeling goofy it was hard to tune them out.

The Eclectus Parrot knew how to turn the charm on when he wanted his mom to play with him. In the footage she shared, it shows the bird sticking his tongue out at his owner. It wasn't just once or twice either. The parrot was determined to make his mama laugh, going at it again and again.

Of course the bird was doing it while his mom was working on her laptop. We don't know how she resisted his adorable face.

"All the times my bird tried to distract me with a blep today," the woman wrote in the text overlay. We guess "blep" is what they call it when the bird sticks his tongue out.

"How am I supposed to get anything done?" the woman wondered in the video's caption.

Commenters were convinced that the bird's mission was accomplished. "Tried? Looks like he did a pretty good job to me," wrote one person. "He's so cute I can't stand it!!!" gushed another commenter. "I would not get one thing done," admitted one person. "My heart melts every time I see his little tongue move," one commenter chimed in.
