A Gen-Z birdwatcher is best friends with her cockatiel - who loves to dance and sing to funk songs. <br /><br />Grace Robinson, 19, has always been a "huge nature enthusiast" and grew up with pet budgies.<br /><br />She got her pet cockatiel, Kiki, four years ago and Grace has been amazed at how quickly he can pick up songs.<br /><br />Kiki mastered the iPhone ring tone first - and even tricks Grace into thinking her phone is ringing.<br /><br />He can sing Earth Wind and Fire's "September" and wolf whistle at his cockatiel girlfriend, Luna.<br /><br />Grace hopes to inspire other young people to get out into nature and try birdwatching by showing off Kiki's quirks.<br /><br />Grace, who is training to be a tattoo artist, from Norwich, Norfolk, said: "I'm a huge nature enthusiast and a huge bird watcher.<br /><br />"I'm so young and don't know any friends interested in it.<br /><br />"I'm always out birdwatching. It's my favourite thing. It's a form of mediating."<br /><br />Grace got Kiki in 2019 and said he first started imitating her ring tone.<br /><br />She said: "I think my phone is ringing and it's just Kiki.<br /><br />"He also knows 'If you're happy and you know it clap your hands' and September.<br /><br />"He wolf whistles. It's very random but he does it in perfect moments."<br /><br />Kiki's girlfriend, Luna, doesn't sing. The pair live in Grace's bedroom.<br /><br />Grace said: "She's quite shy."<br /><br />The birds are quiet when it is dark and Grace can cover them if she needs peace and quiet.<br /><br />She has hung bird feeders outside her window to attract other birds such as blue tits.<br /><br />Her favourite birds, beside Kiki and Luna, include a long tailed tit - which looks like a "lollipop stick" and red kites.<br /><br />Grace hopes to teach Kiki some new songs - as September on repeat has become a bit annoying.<br /><br />She said: "I'm getting bored of September. <br /><br />"He has to hear something every day for a couple of weeks for him to pick it up."<br /><br />Grace shares Kiki in the hope of getting more youngsters into nature.<br /><br />She said: "I'm getting people to notice the simple things.<br /><br />"The first thing you notice in the morning is usually a bird."
