Jordanian Hussein al-Sawalme is a technician in a dental laboratory. He loves birds and has kept a number of them over the years. One of them is a parrot whom he trained six years ago to recite verses from the Quran.
The parrot has been called the "miracle parrot" and turned heads in the Middle East, where videos of his recitals of the Muslim holy book have been widely shared on social media.
"It took a very long time for us to train him. First, we started with a number of words, then he began to talk in full sentences and eventually decided to teach him to recite verses from the Holy Quran," al-Sawalme said.
