An Israeli Talking parrot has a stern warning for everyone amid the coronavirus pandemic: Don't go out!
Luca, the squawking parrot that recently went viral, can be heard in the video re-echoing the government's warnings "there is corona" and "don't go out" in the Hebrew language.
Just like many countries affected by the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19, Israel has ordered its citizens to stay at home in a bid to flatten the curve.

How the squawking parrot was trained
The grey parrot is 22 months old and was trained by its Israeli owner named Zehava Shabat. Shahabat is just like many others who have been alarmed by the growing cases of the deadly disease in their country.
Israel as of this writing has 6,119 confirmed cases and 36 deaths.
According to 53-year-old Shabat, she has been training her pet along with her husband for several days with new words as they were stuck at home in Kiryat Shmona, in northern Israel amid the crisis.
To her surprise, Shabat shared she woke up one day hearing the bird saying "Zehava, there is corona! It's dangerous!"
Shabat believes that Luca could of great help to children coping with the situation.
"For kids, when they see a parrot, the message is positive. They will understand it, in a positive way," she said.
