On a balance of probabilities, parrots are more likely to be spotted walking the plank than walking down the ready meals aisle of a major supermarket.

But that was exactly the scene that greeted one customer, who was left stunned after spotting a pensioner with a colourful parrot perched upon his shoulder in his local Tesco.

Named Bella, the 12-year-old exotic bird prompted the stunned man to capture his unusual encounter on video.

Posting the footage to X, the astonished man can't help but exclaim, 'That is something unbelievable. Oh my God,' as he spots the red-and-green macaw.

'See the parrot, man, in Tesco,' he continues.
