The Monkey who enjoys back-rides from Parrots

Just when you thought the world couldn't get weirder This squirrel monkey is enjoying the benefits of befriending the blue and gold macaw by hopping on its back for rides. Gee

The bone idle animal lives with a male and female parrot at a countryside hotel, and the trio have become inseparable.

‘Its favourite activity is to climb on the back of the parrot and ride it around,’ said photographer Alejandro Jaramillo, 23, who spotted the unlikely pals in San Agustin, Colombia.

‘Amazingly, the monkey never falls off. It holds on by putting its arms around the parrot’s neck.

‘Every once in a while the owners of the hotel have to throw water on the monkey to separate it from the parrots – it just loves to be with them

I hereby Declare this monkey the Laziest arse monkey of all time! All the monkeys I know since my childhood jump around like crazy, here and there, tree to tree, what monkey hitches a ride from a Parrot? Honestly, where is this world going to?
