    A Cockatoo was having a fun FaceTime session with a toddler, but it had to end abruptly after a hilariously wrong note.

    TikTok user Buster the Cockatoo (@busterthecocatoo) shared a video of the chatty bird who didn't edit for their audience. Take a look!

    In a 44-second clip , we meet Buster, a beautiful Cockatoo who has a funny way of words.

    In the clip, the Cockatoo FaceTimes with a young toddler. And he's having a great time strutting around and chatting while his human holds up a phone with a toddler on the other end.

    But things didn't go as planned. The video title reads, "Cockatoo FaceTimes with baby . How it began vs. How it ends," and that tells it all.

    While Buster walks around on the table, he's talking a little bit, saying, "Rock n roll," "It's alright," and "OMG," it's when the bird gets right to the phone that things go a little south.

    You can see the young toddler's face on the phone as Buster gets up close and shows off his feathers while singing to the toddler.

    Then, Buster let off a swear word, forgetting that he was talking to a toddler who probably shouldn't hear that phrase.

    The phone call ended with Buster saying, "That's a wrap."

    "No more Cockatoo FaceTime with a toddler," the video's caption reads.

    And there were a few people in the comments who thought the video was hilarious.

    "Buster, you're the best," one viewer wrote.

    "Hilarious," another admitted.

    How Do Cockatoos Learn to Talk?

    According to Bird Trader , Cockatoos are very intelligent, but teaching them to talk isn't as easy as teaching other birds like Parrots. They explain that Cockatoos' willingness to speak has a lot to do with their personality and their willingness to talk more than anything else.

    "The speech of a cockatoo, unlike that of a parrot, is often unclear and somewhat garbled; however, it is possible for this bird to learn a variety of phrases and speak clearly when it is given consistent training," Bird Trader explains.

    The expert says the best way to train a Cockatoo to talk is to start with small, two-syllable phrases.

    "Listen for signs that your cockatoo is trying to talk, such as making little noises or squawks in response," the experts say.

    "Praise the bird for doing this by saying 'good bird' and giving it an occasional treat. Be patient, as a cockatoo can take months to learn its first phrase."

    And maybe be careful about your Cockatoo hearing any swear words.
