This is the hilarious moment a tiny parrot shows a dog the pecking order when he chases the pooch in circles around a kitchen floor.

The clip, filmed in Perth, Western Australia, captures Figzy the rainbow lorikeet as he charges at Max the dog near a kitchen table.

Max lies on the floor in the doorway as the pair eye each other curiously – waiting to see who will make the first move.

The colourful parrot then dashes towards the pup as he becomes distracted, running into his paws beak-first.

But Max quickly jumps from his position on the floor and manages to charge away from a very determined Figzy.

The parrot, however, refuses to give up on his pursuit, and continues to chase the playful pup around the kitchen in circles.

Max, who was visiting the home with his owner on December 23, manages to stay just out of reach of the persistent Figzy throughout the clip.

Figzy then builds his speed, running close to the panicked pup as he continues to evade the chase

But towards the end, the parrot builds his speed, and very nearly reaches the panicked pup.

The parrot’s owner and filmer said: ‘My mother-in-law brought her dog, Max, over when she stayed on Christmas Eve.

‘I was worried my bird Figzy would get hurt by the young Max and should maybe put him in his cage.

‘This is when I walked in to find Figzy was in no danger and was showing Max the pecking order.’
