Learn to play the piano: pet owners like to train their animals How do you like it? :))
Most pet owners like to train their animals to perform some basic tricks - sitting, begging, rolling over.
Katie Mason is teaching her pet piglets to play the piano.
Ms Mason decided that teaching the pair to play a variety of instruments would make an interesting topic for the zoology masters degree she is studying for in Devon.
The 25-year-old has so far taught Rupert and Penny to recognise the piano, tambourine and drums - and has given them their own miniature versions to practise on.
Ms Mason said: "Rupert is quicker at learning, and his sister Penny copies him. He bangs around on the piano with his snout and pushes the tambourine around.
"He uses his nose for everything - opening cupboards and knocking rubbish bins over."
For those interested in seeing the pair in action, a show is being planned at the Pennywell Farm tourist attraction, near Buckfastleigh, where Ms Mason works.
Pigs are supposedly the third cleverest animals, behind primates and dolphins.
Research in Pennsylvania has suggested they can play basic computer games by moving a joystick with their snouts in order to follow symbols on a screen.
