The banking business is a real jungle.
Especially after a man transformed an Upper West Side ATM vestibule into a glass menagerie by bringing in his dog, three sun conure birds, two white doves, two cockatiels and two bunnies.
He set the birds on his wheeled cart, and the bunnies sat in a cardboard box on the windowsill, while the well-mannered black-and-gray-spotted dog looked on.
A TikTok video captured the wild scene as it unfolded around 2 p.m. on Oct. 4 in the entrance to a Bank of America branch on West 72nd Street and Broadway.
Food, water bottles and other supplies can be seen strewn about the vestibule in the clip, which has been viewed more than 530,000 times.
“Brooklyn may have an aquarium in a fire hydrant but I raise you a petting zoo in an ATM on the UWS . . . this might be the most exclusive petting zoo,” reads the video’s caption.
Neighbors told The Post that it wasn’t the first time that the Dr. Doolittle and his pets have made themselves at home inside the bank.
“He has been in there before and I have gone in there because I needed to get money,” said Upper West Sider Rodrigo Piriz, 30.
“Some people freak out but other people pay them no mind – just like typical New Yorkers,” Piriz said.
A Bank of America employee said the man and his pets usually stay outside of the bank – and if he would have been working on the day they were inside the vestibule, he “would have had to ask him to leave.”
“I love it, I think it’s funny,” the employee said about the makeshift petting zoo. “People are petting the animals, taking pictures, it’s cool. People like it.”
Others, like Casey Snyder, 28, didn’t feel so fuzzy about the idea.
“I want to see them, just maybe not in my bank. I think that’s the wrong spot for all of the animals,” she said with a laugh. “Nothing in this city shocks me anymore. Weird s–t happens every day.”
“I am completely neutral to something like that,” agreed Saad Javed, a physician who lives in the UWS.
When asked if he would go inside the vestibule while the animals were in there, Javed, 33, quipped, “It depends on how bad I needed the money.”
