The mayor of Ecuador's biggest city has hired a parrot to speak on his behalf when he is asked "undesirable questions."
Jaime Nebot, Mayor of Guayaquil, presented the parrot to journalists at a press conference, reports Teerra.com.
He said: "Here is the parrot that will be in charge to answer all the undesirable comments that I have no time to answer.
"Some people only approach me with nonsense talk so the parrot will answer back in the same way because I need to use my time to work."
Mr Nebot has been heavily criticised by the press and the public for his social security policies.
