"We got him five years ago and we just fell in love with him at first sight and brought him home. For us, we didn't know he knew any tricks, we tried teaching him to sit, lie down, roll over and he wasn't interested," said Lavery, who lives with his partner Jen Scott, 29, in Belfast, Ireland.

"When he was about two years old I sat a chicken toy on his head and he just sat there looking at it really still,” Lavery claimed. "I called Jen down and said, 'Jen! Harlso has a hidden talent!'"

Soon after in February 2016, the bewildered couple set up various social media accounts. After nine months Harlso had 14,000 followers.

"It really started growing quite quickly. People from all over the world follow him,” Lavery, a social worker, said. "When we created the Instagram account it was mainly just for us, family and friends. We never expected it to take it off.

"I just thought: 'Who is going to be interested in seeing these photos and videos?’” he recalled. “Harlso's got his very own VIP fan club for the most dedicated fans and we get messages through from people wanting to meet him.”

"We got one message from a couple from Australia who said they were in the area and asked if they could pencil in a time to meet him and pet him,” he continued.

Lavery photographs and videos Harlso balancing all sorts of things on his head, including a Toblerone, an eggplant and even a slice of watermelon.

Lavery explained: "Anything long and tall we like to try and balance on his head. You can put pretty much anything on his head as long as it's not too heavy and too dangerous."

He also has an impressive array of outfits in the videos, complete with a selection of over 300 bow ties to choose from. “We always try to match his bow tie to what he's balancing on his head. We try to do themes for Halloween, Christmas and Easter too," Lavery said.

Harlso's owner added that he only places objects on Harlso's head if it's safe. "Anything long and tall we like to try and balance on his head. You can put pretty much anything on his head as long as it's not too heavy and too dangerous," he said. "It's amazing because when he was balancing things it used to surprise us, but he can balance almost anything and 99 percent of the time, he manages to do it the first time."
