Totally love this! I showed it to my dad when visiting him at his care home - he has dementia -- he laughed and laughed, and sat there moving his legs in time to the cockatoo's! Thank you!!!
No one taught Snowball how to dance. He just began dancing one day and has become more elaborate as time passes. Irena Schulz - Bird Lovers Only Rescue Service, Inc.
What's amazing is from 1:21 - 1:23 when Snowball actually pauses to listen to the change in tempo, then at 1:24 starts back up synched with it. If there were ever a question about intelligence, there's your answer right there.
As I was filming him for research, he sent a chill up my spine when I watched him pause in dancing, analyze the dance pattern we were doing, and then change it so we would look more symmetrical. To see the intelligence in his eyes gives me goose bumps. Irena Schulz - Bird Lovers Only
This bird's something special. Tons of birds dance, some birds have SOME sense of rhythm, but they always lose rhythm partway. This is the only bird I've ever seen that holds near perfect rhythm. When Snowball DOES lose rhythm, it's immediatly corrected. Snowball even switches up the dance moves at high and low parts of the song. Incredible. It's like watching a human in bird body dance.
@Tnem56 Snowball began dancing on his own...he isn't trained at all. He dances when he feels like it which is practically 100% of the time when people are watching him. He just loves to show off for the attention. Irena Schulz
We have set him in front of a mirror and he has watched himself, but nothing else out of the ordinary with regard to dance moves. He does 'invent' new dance moves over time. Scientists have labeled and documented 17 dance moves so far. Irena Schulz - Bird Lovers Only Rescue
@doeme53 Snowball created another new dance move a few weeks ago. He has combined his usual "head twirl" with lifting his wings for a very dramatic dance move. He loves the verbal praises when he dances, so I believe this explains why he continues to think up more dance moves and loves to dance in front of others. He thrives on the attention and praises. Many cockatoos love to dance...this seems to be something most cockatoos have in common (appreciation of music). Irena
Yes, he dances on his own. He will break into dance while we are watching tv and a commercial with a good tune comes on. He just loves music. Irena Schulz - Bird Lovers Only
Did you know that we are studying Snowball in our neurobiology/neuropsychology classes in Bordeaux, France? He's a famous bird and a proof that non-human animals can synchronize to a musical beat! I only chanced on this video upon the recommendation of a professor!
This is fantastic! I love him! He seems to keep with the beat and really listens to the tones of the music. Why has he never been on Ellen!!!! She would love hm too!
We've heard of "rock and roll hoochie coo," but Snowball is the first "rock and roll cockatoo." It's good to see he is so happy and healthy with you. I've seen that some birds do not take so well to being placed with different humans. I have a friend with a bare-eyed 'too, and they are wonderful birds.
Snowball didn't learn this. He just began dancing to music and has really evolved into quite a rocker. A friend sent a CD of Lady Gaga which we've been playing for him. I walked in to watch him dancing and swinging a toy in time to the music. He's a nut! Irena Schulz - Bird Lovers Only Rescue

snowball has greatly contributed to my love of birds. This bird is truly amazing. One of the miracles of life. he always manages to make my days brighter.
YES! We will have a new video (or two) out soon. Hopefully this month (March). I don't want to give out too much information, but...a couple of Snowball fans have sent in CDs and he's taken a fancy to some of those tunes that were sent in. Irena Schulz - Bird Lovers Only Rescue
He prefers dancing for people and/or with someone, but his style is his own. He dances when he feels like it, and does whatever he feels good doing. Irena Schulz - Bird Lovers Only Rescue Service, Inc.
If only Freddy Mercury knew that one day, a cockatoo would be dancing to his song 😂😂😂😂
The moment you realise a bird has better dance moves than you
Totally love this! I showed it to my dad when visiting him at his care home - he has dementia -- he laughed and laughed, and sat there moving his legs in time to the cockatoo's! Thank you!!!
Omg it actually looking for the beat! Never realised these birds were so intelligent!
he's got hair like a rockstar :D and his headbanging is so cute! :D

Cockatoo dances to Queen, but more than that when he loses the beat he finds it again

Snowball has better musical taste than most people...
This bird knows more about music than a lot of people around the world, well done snowball
My parrot loves Queen too. His favorite is We will rock you and Bohemian Rhapsody
Oh my god. That has got to be the most adorable bird I have ever seen!
It it a beautiful day, 1 pm, 30 C without any cloud
And I watching dancing parrots on youtube...

Aaaaaaaw, my heart is melting now! :)
Snowball could NOT be any more amazing and intelligent. It's a pleasure to watch him do his thing!
He seems to capture many female human hearts over in this country. He's such a ladies' man.

Freddie Mercury has been reincarnated as a cockatoo!!!!
I think Snowball should have his own fan club by now! I watch this clip now and then for a laugh.
He should be on Dancing with the Stars.
This bird can rock, sooo cute and funny. I've never seen a bird get down like that and move his feet too. Awesome!
0:50 dat move doe
He teaches us, that it is ONE WORLD we live in.
And he does this in an unbeatable groovy manner.
Long live Snowball!
This made me smile all the way through......thanks guys!!!!
Look at his tiny little feet, hahaha. This is great
Snowball totally made my day! Still smiling goofy as I write this!
hahaha, this is so cute! I love watching snowball dancing. He got some serious moves :)
I think it's just amazing how birds like cockatoos can actually keep up with the rhythm to a song. They're so smart, and so much fun :)
This bird is a better dancer than most humans I know. #jealous
This is just brilliant! So cute and funny 😂😊
yassss 😂😂 oh my gosh making soo much happiness😂😂
I love how he follows the tempo
Yes, he dances on his own. He will break into dance while we are watching tv and a commercial with a good tune comes on. He just loves music.

Snowball is the best thing on UA-cam! I watch Snowball every day. I wish I could dance as well as he can. That bird rocks!
Snowball is one happy character!!Always makes me chuckle even when having a hard day!!
I love how he knows the song well enough to have almost choreographed his moves, great rhythm. He kicks ass.
What a sweet soul. I never get bored watching him. :D
I was in tears laughing at this last night when a friend posted the link! Snowball's a great little bird with a good sense of rhythm. Love this!

This is so awesome. It made me laugh at a time when I really needed it. Thank you, Snowball.
This bird has WAY more rhythm than a lot of people. Snowball makes me want to dance! Amazing bird with a great character and great caretakers :)
I like how when the lyrics are "Steve walks slowly down the street..." Snowball dances like he's walking exaggeratedly.
Every time I hear this song now, I see this awesome dance in my head! This bird has got *the moves*!
Did you know that we are studying Snowball in our neurobiology/neuropsychology classes in Bordeaux, France? He's a famous bird and a proof that non-human animals can synchronize to a musical beat! I only chanced on this video upon the recommendation of a professor!
Awesome!!! He has an honorary position in my Queen video collection :-)
This is fantastic! I love him! He seems to keep with the beat and really listens to the tones of the music. Why has he never been on Ellen!!!! She would love hm too!
