This is truly amazing - Snowball, a sulphur crested cockatoo does his own dance moves to Queen's Another One Bites the Dust. This is a Youtube clip - there are others where he shows questionable taste (Stevie Nicks, Back Street Boys, Ringo Starr).
Such is his fame, that he has been studied by neuroscientists who are fascinated by the brain / motor connection in human appreciation of rhythm. Rhythm is closely linked to the ability to sing and mimic - which humans share with birds but not with any of the primates. So are we more bird brained than we thought?
