Lyavon Volski's parrot learns to say "Long Live Belarus" (video)

The parrot which belongs to Belarusian rock-musician Lyavon Volski learned to say "Long Live Belarus!". Richard - this is the bird's name - needed several weeks to learn this "anti-governmental slogan", alongside with a series of other phrases.

"We told him some phrases from time to time, – Lyavon Volski shares the secret of training. – He knows a lot. For instance, he can say "Earth, Earth, I am Richard, request for landing", or just "Hello". However, he likes "Ola-la" and "Long Live Belarus!" the most, due to some reason. I would like to recommend this to all owners of young parrots, as this slogan is very easy to learn, much better than other words and phrases."


Let us note that parrot Richard is not the only pet of Belarusian celebrities which has been involved into politics. For example, a dog which belongs to Belarusian poet Leanid Dranko-Maysyuk, participated in the silent protest action.
