Skittles, a bright yellow, green and orange bird, is potty-trained and recently showed off the new habit he mimics from people. The bird's owner posted a video of the pet performing his uncommon talent.

Footage shows Skittles' owner remove the bird from a colorful cage as it greets her with "kisses."
