When Vonnegut the humble Indian ringneck parrot isn't entertaining his thousands of followers on social media he's helping around the house.

He boasts more than 4000 followers on Instagram but loves nothing more than cleaning the house and helping his owner Anne Suthern hang washing, fold clothes and make the bed.

Ms Suthern named the squawking sensation after her favourite author Kurt Vonnegut and said he also has a strange obsession with the iron and vacuum cleaner.

‘While I would love for him to take over doing these jobs it’s probably a little too dangerous for the little fella,’ the 29-year-old told the Gold Coast Bulletin.

She bought Vonnegut for $100 from a Brisbane breeder when he was six weeks old and trained him herself.

They go about their morning routine together, with Vonnegut pegging clothes to the line and folding bed sheets.

Caring for the parrot is like looking after a two-year-old said Ms Suthern said.

'It’s full on and he always wants attention.'
