A parrot named Bebe has captured the attention of the internet after embarking on an underwater journey in a miniature submarine. His owner, Steven Loyer, crafted this unique vessel using a paintball tank, an oxygen sensor, and lead weights, dubbing it the "Bebosphere." Loyer shared that both he and Bebe enjoy snorkeling, which inspired him to create this underwater experience for his feathered companion. The six-year-old parrot reportedly had a fantastic time during the adventure. This isn't the first thrilling escapade for Bebe, who has previously joined Loyer on 15 skydives, safely nestled in a transparent capsule attached to his owner. However, reactions online have been mixed. While some viewers find the sight of a parrot in a submarine endearing, others raise concerns about Bebe's well-being and agency in the situation. Popular television host Stephen Colbert even quipped that the headlines surrounding the parrot's oceanic exploits could easily be altered to reflect a less enthusiastic perspective, suggesting "Confused Bird in a Bottle Would Really Like This to Be Over." What are your thoughts—did Bebe relish the experience?
