The protest in Iran has been raging for more than three months and has spread from the remote districts of the country to the capital Tehran and has not overlooked the strongholds of the population that support the regime.
But a video that made waves on social media in the country proved that the protest had spread to a new population in the religious country, the pet birds.
A resident of the capital Tehran has uploaded a video in which a cockatiel parrot is seen sitting nonchalantly on its cage while it nibbles on bird food and casually chants "death to the dictator".
Apparently there is nothing special about a bird of this species that has learned to recite slogans, but the feathered protester has become a small web storm on the Iranian network.

Within hours, hundreds of comments were added, some of them from leading figures in the country, to the original video and many responded in support of the act of prank that may earn its perpetrator a prison sentence.
"He also moved from the cage to the street," wrote the Iranian journalist affiliated with the opposition Abdallah Ganji.
Other surfers uploaded pictures of their pet parrots and wrote that they would teach him similar readings in the spirit of protest that is spreading in the country.
Over 400 people were killed in a protest against the regime of religious oppression in Iran and three protesters were executed in prisons of the regime last month. Were we wrong?
