A mynah bird that can speak both Chinese and English attracted many curious pedestrians in Guangzhou's busy Beijing Road.

The bird alternatively says "Ni Hao," "Wan Shi Ru Yi," in Chinese and "Hello, Welcome" in English.

The bird has a sense of humour as it frequently opens its eyes wide and raises its head high, raising laughs among the pedestrian.

The bird's owner, surnamed Huang, said he had raised the bird for half a year. He taught it to speak Chinese, while his daughter taught it to speak English.
