He learned from his Ma whistling it and he even mimics the breath she takes in the middle of it.
Sure, owls are the main bird character in the Wizarding World, but Starlings are pretty cute and mythical looking too. Their shiny black feathers that look like they've got the cosmos on them and now there's even one who can tweet the Harry Potter theme. So, hey you Harry Potter fan faction writers, here's your audition of a Starling so you can write them into the world.
Tiktoker @farijuana_ has a pet European Starling bird named Zephyr. The sweet little tweety often takes the spotlight on the TikTok videos, but the last video is what's making him go viral. Him tweeting the theme to Harry Potter not only gets the magical nerds but also is attracting bird enthusiasts. And even just people who love adorable animal videos because he even takes a cute little breath in the middle simply because he's mimicking his ma.
The video has gotten almost 10 million views already and people are simply in love. The breath he mimics, the off-key cuteness—you'd be crazy not to think it's all just too cute. “The fact that he’s not actually taking a breath, rather copying YOU taking a breath, I love him,” one commenter said. “This is the most magical thing ever,” another added. Many others are suggesting other nerdy-fan following themes to whistle like Rue's whistle from The Hunger Games or “The Imperial March” from Star Wars. The TikToker says she'll work on it.
Birds are known to repeat words they hear often, so it's no surprise to hear a bird tweeting “hello” or something like “pretty bird"—sometimes you'll even get a bird who swears a lot because their owner swears a lot. But this bird tweeting along to different themes is really hitting the market in a popular spot. I mean, what Harry Potter fan wouldn't love this? I think Zephyr deserves a cameo in a Harry Potter-based film. Why not add him into a Fantastic Beasts film?? He surely is one.
