A stunned golfer has told of how he enjoyed a different type of birdie - when a parrot joined him on the green.<br /><br />Tom Kelson, 31, was enjoying a game of golf with dad Pete Kelson and father-in-law Steve Jessop, when they spotted a bright green bird in the trees.<br /><br />The parrot then flew over to the trio at Tinsley Golf Course in Sheffield, South Yorks,. and perched on their shoulders as they attempted to take their shots.<br /><br />The funny footage shows the group playing the game and walking around the course, while the parrot sat on them.<br /><br />Tom said: "It flew over and I gave the parrot a bit of my cereal bar and it wouldn't leave us alone.<br /><br />"It would fly back to the trees but then fly back to one of us - it ended up landed on all of our shoulders.<br /><br />"The parrot was that comfortable so it stayed on our shoulders as we were playing.<br /><br />"We just found it really and we just knew it was a once in a lifetime thing to happen, especially because we were playing a game of golf."<br /><br />While the group were still playing, Tom went on Facebook and discovered the bird had escaped from a nearby salon a couple of days before. <br /><br />But luckily, he managed to help the owner reunite with his pet. <br /><br />Tom said: "I think the parrot sits on his owner's shoulder as he's cutting hair but had blown out one day.<br /><br />"He went over to Tinsley but when he was there, the parrot had left at this point but we pointed him in the right direction.<br /><br />"We were packing our things up in the car park and saw that they had been reunited."
