There's the Phantom of the Opera and then there's the Parrot of Peking Opera.

A home video of a pet parrot singing a Peking Opera-inspired Chinese song has gone viral in China, with many viewers wondering if it was AI-generated. It wasn't.

Guided by its owner's gentle cues, the bird sings a famous line from "Shuochang Lianpu," a classic song inspired by the colorful facial makeup and legendary characters of Peking Opera. Even after briefly losing the rhythm, the tiny performer quickly gets back on track.
