Love (lust?) makes strange bedfellows

Spring is mating season for parrots — and actor Andy Richter’s birdie, Nacho, can’t keep his claws off the family dog, Kiwi.

 

On Sunday, Richter uploaded photos of Nacho following Kiwi around his home.

 

“We’ve had our parrot, Nacho, for about 10 [years] now, and every Spring he has about a [two-week] mating urge. It’s super annoying,” Richter writes.

 

“In previous [years], I have been the object of his procreation obsession, but this [year] he has decided our dog Kiwi is his new mate.”

 

His post on the inter-species courtship quickly went viral on Twitter, garnering more than 15,000 likes.

 

“My favorite kind of against-the-odds love story!” writes actor Ted Travelstead.

Cute, but I think the dog should be named Nacho, and the bird should be named Kiwi.
