This footage filmed by baffled travellers shows four parrots riding the bus alongside their owner, with two of them calmly perched up on passenger seats.
The unusual scene was recorded on a bus in the Uskudar district, which is located on the Asian side of Istanbul, in Turkey.
It shows the white-bearded man, who was not named, quietly waiting for his stop after he boarded the bus with his four parrots.
He left two of his parrots on the passenger seats opposite him and carried the other two parrots on his arm and shoulder.
In the clip, which was shared online on 12th January, one of the birds is seen looking out of the window while the other three observe the people on the bus who seem bewildered by their presence and some have their phones out filming.
