"Tutinama (Persian: طوطی‌نامه‎‎), literal meaning 'Tales of a Parrot,' is a 14th-century Persian series of 52 stories.

The “Tooti Nameh” or “Tales of a Parrot” is a collection of stories of Indian origin written down in Persia in the 14th century. In the late 16th century, the Mughal emperor Akbar commissioned an illustrated version of the work with 250 miniature illustrations. The moral of the stories, primarily aimed at controlling women, were of great interest to him as the owner of a large harem.The main narrator is a parrot that has been given the task of looking after the wife of his owner, a travelling salesman. His skill and cunning – telling her compelling stories evening after evening – prevents her from visiting a lover and saves his life.
