Barry Keoghan adopted a wild parrot that flew into his apartment.
The Bird star was relaxing at his apartment in London’s Canary Wharf when the bird perched in his penthouse and made itself at home.
Barry took the bird under his wing and named it Julian, and the parrot even began to speak and would call out to his dog Koda.
Speaking to Italian publication IO Donna, Barry said: “I actually had a parrot; it flew onto my balcony and I kept it with me.
“I named it Julian; it was a ring-necked parakeet. And it started talking, and calling my dog: Koda!
“I remember it wouldn't leave my penthouse in Canary Wharf and then one day - after six months - it just flew away. Birds are fascinating and intelligent.”
Barry – who has been cast as Ringo Starr in Sam Mendes’ four Beatles films - is a committed animal lover and he also uses protection dogs for his own personal safety.
The 32-year-old actor has two Alsatians, Duke and Koda, who act as guard dogs to ensure he is protected against potential attacks on his person.
His most recent pooch patrol addition Duke, was obtained via professional dog firm Lawless K9 Trainers, and Barry has been personally involved in the animal's training.
A spokesman previously told Daily Mail Online: "We are training Barry's dog as a companion first and foremost as we don't do aggression work until they are older.
"A lot of different trainers in the UK don't know what they are doing so they will train aggression straight away and that is not what we do. We create companions first."
