Commons Speaker ruffles Boris' feathers on Newscast

The Speaker of the House of Commons took his pet parrot Boris with him to a BBC Newscast interview and the bird caused some mischief in the studio.

Sir Lindsay Hoyle is regularly accompanied by Boris (the bird) in Westminster.

The Speaker keeps politically named pets at home - with Boris the parrot, Maggie the tortoise and Gordon the dog just a few examples.
