  • so cutttttttteeeeeeeeeeeee <3

  • what a funny bird !!

  • Its as if he anticipates the end of the song, where there is simply the repeating beat, which he aptly keeps with his left foot for the duration, and then joins with a head motion for the crescendo. Amazing.

  • Lovely upload. Love it. Thanks for sharing.

  • CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @BirdLoversOnly

    I just had to watch this again, being Christmas again and I play this CD faithfully every year because I think it's excellent. Snowball is always a treat to watch as he grooves to this! Merry Christmas and Happy New year Irena! God bless and I hope ALL is well. Big hugs & kisses you Irena, Snowball and the gang!!

    Love,

    Auntie M

  • @Tyquasia111 Hi Auntie M! This one cracks me up too because of Mookie shouting "Merry Christmas!" in the background...and of course, who can resist that infectious laughter of hers?  Snowball had plenty of competition on this one from Mookie.

    Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year!

  • I love birds pet ones and ones in the wild. Gods rainbow with wings

  • @silliegirl50 Beautiful analogy!

  • I really wish Ringo WOULD donate something. Hey Irena & Snowball, a very happy, hoppy & blessed EASTER to all of you!!!!! Keep your boogie on SB :-)

    Love,

    Auntie M

  • i agree i think Ringo would love it and at least respond if he saw the video

  • what a personality!!!! I just love watching Snowball vids! I do tiger rescue and trul admire and respect your work. oh, and the music is nice too! LOL

  • snowball, you r the dancin' champ

  • I agree, he really IS the "champ!" He put the boogie in You-Tube ;-)

  • He has a better sense of rhythm than most people. What a guy!

  • You should post this as a Response to Ringo's post of this song. Maybe he'd donate a few hundred or thousand to your cause. Love watching Snowball dance. I have several of her videos saved to my Birdies playlist.

    Merry Christmas everyone from Vancouver BC Canada and all the best for 2010!

  • What do you mean about posting this as a response to Ringo's posting of this song?? This video WAS actually sent to Ringo's PR person after it was made which I know about personally, and he supposedly DID see it. That's why "I" encouraged that, so he'd do something, but he didn't respond, (at least not that I know of). Good idea though! Merry Christmas/Happy New Year Snowball!!

    Love,

    Auntie M ;-)

  • As far as I know, Ringo did see this. He never donated, but that's ok. I'm sure he got a chuckle to see that even a bird enjoys his music.

    Irena Schulz - Bird Lovers Only

  • uauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu :o

  • Hard to believe this video is going on 2 years old!!! Great work with you & Mom on The Discovery Channel Snowball. I'll bet you threw the mashed potatoes @ Mom because, well hey, . . no gravy! ;-)Love you both & enjoy the Fall season

    Auntie M.

  • The gravy! That must have been the problem! LOL

    Irena Schulz - Bird Lovers Only

  • Go Mookie!! What a happy laugh. Ok, yes, Snowball is cute too!!!

  • snowball should dance to "rockin' around the christmas tree"YOU ROCK SNOWBALL!!!!

  • Is Snowball the 'too in George Harrison's video for "I Got My Mind Set on You"?

  • WOW, now THAT would have been REALLY cool if he had been in George's "Mind Set On You" video and excellent exposure for Snowball, but I doubt that it was him. That was quite a long time ago.

  • ;0 i don't think so, that prolly wasn't him, but actually wasn't that terribly 'that long ago' for the lifespan of big wonderful birds like snowball (comparable to humans, if not longer! ;0)... :0 his caretaker says it's his 'teenage years' that gets him rockin' out like this. super-awesome!! stomp dem claws bro. ;0

  • u go snowball wooooooooo bless he's rockin out better then most people do lol looks like hes avein so much fun x

  • Thats just mind boggeling. Snowball you are one of a kind. :*)

  • Snowball is awesome. He looks so happy when he dances!

  • I am in love with snowball. Cockatoos are lovely and a small part of me wishes I could have one but my four little parakeets are more than enough for me.

  • You are very wise! Cockatoos are a huge handful of responsibility. Have fun with your four little guys!

    Irena Schulz - Bird Lovers Only Rescue Service, Inc.

  • This made me laugh! lol! So funny he is really havin' a good time! Bird Power!!!

  • more dancing less beat

  • I think Snowball does VERY well with this song considering It's a heavy drummed song, which I "like" but that's just the way it is. Snowball keeps up with the BEST of them!

  • Hi Irena, I've always said if everyone gave just 1.00 what a difference it would make. The vet bills have to be astanomical. Forget the food, toys, perches & cages!!! I wish birds woulg get the same backing that dogs & cats get.

  • kickass!!

  • He's totally amazing!!

  • snowball is the best one ;-)

  • With new birds coming through your place, how do you keep Snowball safe from diseases such as beak and feather disease etc? Hope he continues to entertain people for many years to come!

  • We keep them all separated, we vet test them, and we have several Hepa air cleaners throughout to trap any airborne viruses, bacteria, etc.

    Irena Schulz - Bird Lovers Only Rescue Service, Inc.

  • Well that bird habitat has surely been built by now right? I mean after numerous talk show appearances and commercials I'm sure earned more than enough. Those cages just look awfully small for those birds in the background & sure hope by now they all have a better invironment. The caretakers of course should be entitled to something special from time to time but without snowball, no one would be doing commercials or talkshows.

  • You would be surprised at just how little these shows give. The money received from these appearances pay for vet costs, food, toys, etc. Donations are practically non-existent from the general public due to the economy and lose of jobs/wages.

    Irena Schulz - Bird Lovers Only Rescue Service, Inc.

  • All the more reason why EVERYONE ON HERE should donate something to Irena's Sanctuary. Regardless of the amount! If "everone DID it would be a huge help!!

  • Thank you for that comment. If everyone who came here to watch a Snowball video would donate $1.00, we could have had an entire habitat facility built.

    Irena Schulz - Bird Lovers Only Rescue Service, Inc.

  • Glad to try & help Irena. C'mon EVERYONE, DO IT! A dollar or two isn't much!!

  • if i had a dollar, i'd donate it!

  • wow! how many birds do you have?..is alot of work to look after them...your lucky....it must get pretty loud at home?...snowball is a great dancer :P

  • he should dance to hammertime 8 D

  • I realize that Snowball is the dancing superstar and I think he's awesome. However, my favorite part of this video is Mookie's wonderful silliness. Her happy-go-lucky attitude is contagious! If the world would pickup on her enthusiasm, there'd be a lot less unhappy folks in the world!

  • And the amazing thing about Mookie is that she is disabled and has health issues. We as humans are not as happy go lucky even with all that we have. Everyone who comes through our rescue falls madly in love with Mookie. She has a heart of gold.

    Irena Schulz - Bird Lovers Only Rescue Service, Inc.

  • I was aware of Mookie's disability issues from your description of this video, but she seems like such a sweetie its easy to look past her health problems and simply appreciate her "heart of gold". There's many of us that appreciate what you do, Irena.

  • wowe its so awsome i wish i had a bird like that

  • Is that buddy animal hoarding?

    Anyway..cool

  • It`s a bird rescue

  • one two kick

    one two kick

    slide slide

    side to side

  • Hey everybody, don't forget to watch Snowball's Mom Irena AND Snowball THIS THURSDAY, JUNE 11TH ON GOOD MORNING AMERICA. THEY'LL BE ON LIVE!! R O C K ON SNOWBALL, CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU THURSDAY!!!!

  • now watch this . . . snowball . . .we lost a big rockstarr in you ^^

    rock on snowball

  • How do you figure you "lost" him?? Explain please.

  • I think this person meant that there is a rock star lost/hiding within Snowball's feathered little body.

    Irena - Bird Lovers Only Rescue Service, Inc.

  • This is STILL an all time favorite of mine. What ever happened to the aerobics video that was supposed to come out Snowball does?

  • Thank you Snowball & Mookie & Irena. This video got me through many rough spots in my life. My parents are both gone now & this brings so many memories of joy through the pain.

  • This my favorite Snowball video of all time How cool would it be if Mookie & Snowball could do a commercial??? I've watched this one so mant times & it still makes a bad day good!!! Snowball just make me happy to watch him & Mookie is so happy!!!! Thank you for sharing.

  • A future Snowball-related study might involve measuring endorphin levels in humans before and after viewing these videos. This one, with Mookie's vocal stylings, makes me positively giddy even after a couple dozen viewings!

  • Very cute suggestion! I'll have to suggest this to my colleagues at the Neurosciences Institute in San Diego, CA!!!

    Irena Schulz - Bird Lovers Only Rescue Service, Inc.

  • Irena Schulz will be presenting the research on Snowball at the World Science Festival in New York City in June. Snowball will be making special appearances and dancing his little feet off.

    Irena Schulz - Bird Lovers Only Rescue Service, Inc.

  • Hey i hav a qusetion... what kind of bird is he, i want a danceing bird : >

  • a cockatoo

  • Snowball is a Sulphur Crested Cockatoo - a native bird of Australia. I have these wonderful wild birds flying in to visit on my living room balcony in Melbourne. We treasure these daily visits and their antics make us laugh every day. The current drought has been very unkind to them though with less and less water and food in the wild. The worse the drought gets, the more birds we see in our area.

  • Who is screaming in the background?

  • Thank you for cheering me up after a really pitiful day at work.....keep rocking snowball xx

  • Music cheers me up so I'm happy to return the favor! Thanks for writing!

    Snowball - Bird Lovers Only Rescue Service, Inc.

  • Snowball rocks! really! it's not like dance to Backstreet Boys...

  • A Beatle fan.! Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!

  • At :46 and :47 is one of the parrots shouting "Faster! Faster!"?

  • listening again I think you are right, it certainly sounds like that.

  • whatta little headbanger!! ;0 i love 'im!! :)

    :0 i wonder if the loud saxophones (or even other woodwinds) are paricularly interesting or disrupting tones to them?? he seemed to take a decent pause just to listen or rest at 2:30... but he also seems to have memorized by now the timing of the song to the very end of the song. :) he could have been 'appreciating' the crescendo loud sax-bridge at that point as headbangers do!! ;0 too funny!! :) whatta sweetie. :) i'd dance with him anytime!! :)

  • lo voglioooo!!!haahahahha..bellis­simoo

  • He's having so much fun! I love how he's trying to sing.

  • that dog is demon possessed.....  saying all that crazy shit... play it backwards

  • WHAT dog???? It's a bird named Mookie who's talking in this video while Snowball dances.

  • he's got Ringo's nose alright... :))

  • Now THAT was funny!!! LOL ;-)

  • Wow. This bird literally taught me how to dance.

  • It's because he has EXCELLENT taste ;-)

  • Do you think there is a reason why snowball is attracted to British music???

    Gotta love him and Mookie. Any chance of seing Snowball and Mookie in a double performance??

  • Snowball is terrific but Mookie has my heart!!

  • it is amazing how snowball can keep timing so well with all the songs.... but it is obvious that he likes the back street boys the best!  beautiful bird

  • Snowball was diggin' Ringo here too! He likes a LOT of different kinds of music.

  • i love him!

  • crazy bird!!!

  • he has got the beat in his blood...he´s very funny...and mybe i think he dances better than some people...:D...

    he rocks...

  • the bird in the background doing all the talking and laughing is hilarious! and snowball is just awesome! i love you snowball gets the foot into the dancing, so cool

  • Snowball is one heck of a dancer! As for singing though... maybe he should stick to talking and dancing  :)

  • That's actually a different cockatoo doing all the singing, talking, and laughing. That is Mookie in the background. She is SOOO incredibly sweet and funny. She's a big Snowball fan, though.

    Irena - Bird Lovers Only Rescue Service, Inc.

  • I LOVE SNOWBALL!!!!!!!

    sooooooo cute:)

  • This is one awesome bird!!! I love it.

  • Well, Frostie has good style but "Snowball" is the original when it comes to that "hokey pokey" move, (put your right foot in, put your right foot out & shake it all about bit . . .except it's his LEFT foot). LOL!! Nobody does it better than Snowball!! XOXO Auntie M

  • Sounds like ONE FLEW OVER THE COOKOOS NEST movie.Those birds must always be a riot.

  • Every single one of them are so unique in personality! It most certainly is a riot!

    Irena - Bird Lovers Only Rescue Service, Inc.

  • rock on!

  • Yeaaaaay, our Steelers won the Super Bowl, give us a cheer Snowball ;-) !!!!!

  • Snowball cheered when the Steelers made that awesome touchdown in the last minute of the game!

    Irena - Bird Lovers Only Rescue Service, Inc.

  • You GO little buddy, hugs & kisses to you & Mom. . . .thanks Irena :-)

  • my bird can go outside and come back but he cant get those skills :O

  • The other birds need to join and have a bird dance party!

  • Believe me...they do! One of the resident moluccan cockatoos has a dance competition with Snowball on occassion. Snowball always wins.

    Irena - Bird Lovers Only Rescue Service, Inc.

  • That competition would be funny to see Irena, you should record it! Thought about Snowball tonight because it's superbowl time. I'd love to one day see him in one of THOSE commmercials! I know, you would too ;-)

  • that bird must listen to slipknot :)

  • that is the coolest bird EVER!!!!

  • i love this bird alot.coolllllllll kisses for snowball

  • I LOVE this bird!! He's got the sweetest voice!

  • Actually, the voice belongs to a female moluccan cockatoo that is not on camera. She's a special needs bird and is every bit as sweet as her voice. Her name is Mookie and she has my heart!

    Irena - Bird Lovers Only Rescue Service, Inc.

  • Snowball rocks.....my little lovebird started dancing after being inspired by Snowball.

  • What a ham! lol

  • This is my first tin=me of seeing this dancing bird!

    So cute!

    Ringo's my favorite Beatle. =3 XD

  • the bird ROCKS! xD

  • The thing i love most about this bird must be that it looks like he is enjoying himself very much!

    Beautiful work with the birds!

  • Ohhh, he enjoys himself immensely when he's dancing! He especially loves a dancing partner when he's dancing...regardless of whether his dancing partner is human or has feathers.

    Irena - Bird Lovers Only Rescue Service, Inc.

  • Then please make a movier when he dances with an other bird. Because i really love ur video's.

  • We'll do our best to create a video where he has an entourage of bird dancers behind him.

    Irena - Bird Lovers Only Rescue Service, Inc.

  • STILL totally cracks me up!!! Give SB a BIG hug & kiss for me Irena!

    Love,

    Auntie M.

  • Snowball just blew a kiss your way! Have a great TURKEY DAY, Auntie M!!!!! Little did I know that he LOVES to dance to Christmas music!

    Irena - Bird Lovers Only Rescue Service, Inc.

  • what a party bird

  • Snowball dances better than Shakira!!!! LOL!!

  • This is why I love birds. <3

  • do you sell any of your birds if so please reply back thank you

  • We don't sell birds...we adopt them out to families if the chemistry is right between the bird and the family/individual.

    Irena - Bird Lovers Only Rescue Service, Inc.

  • Snowball says, "That's Ringo's rock & roll Christmas record, I like it, I like it, that's fun!" I did ask Snowball's Mom right after this was posted and she concured that that's what Mookie said. I sent it to Irena and have watched it so many times, that I feel I have it down pat. Hope you play it again for him this Christams Irena!! =) LOVE IT!!!!!!

  • Sorry, I must correct that. It's MOOKIE, another bird at the Sanctuary who says all that, not Snowball.

  • Mookie says that stuff, NOT Snowball, sorry everybody.

  • MOM!!Translate what he's saying... lol I think he says "I love rock and roll" around 0:33 and sure I hear the word "christmas.". He's adorable..

  • The bird babbling in the background is actually Mookie, a disabled moluccan cockatoo that has a heart the size of Texas. She's a sweetie! She actually yells out "Merry Christmas!" She does a lot of talking during this video but I don't recall all of what she says because there is so much.

    Irena - Bird Lovers Only Rescue Service, Inc.

  • Aww in what way is she disabled??? She does sound like a happy bird though :)

  • She has a birth defect in her right ankle which turns her claw outward and her left hip is dislocated. The vet tried everything she could to set the hip, but it kept popping back out. I didn't want to put her through surgery because if it didn't take, she would have to be euthanized. I couldn't stand the thought of that option. But she is a VERY, VERY happy bird...and a heart of gold, too!!!

    Irena - Bird Lovers Only Rescue Service, Inc.

  • Yes Irena,sorry about that. Don't ask me WHY I said it was Snowball talking . . .duh! I think what I quoted Mookie as saying, is pretty on target though. Auntie M. ;-0

  • Hey, no problem! Mookie is the opinionated one who always has something to say! Everyone loves Mookie!!!

    Irena - Bird Lovers Only Rescue Service, Inc.

  • I'm never sure if my comment has printed, which is why you see the same comment from me a few times. I did it a "few" times, . .yikes!

  • I swear he says "I love Rock and Roll"around 033,,and "Christmas".lol I love this,lol so cute,

    I also love your laugh, very sincere.

  • Irena, please promise me you'll play this again for Snowball this Christmas, okay? It will be interesting to see if dances any differently to it. BTW, I DID send an e-mail to the company you asked me about. I'm waiting for a reply. ;-)

  • der vogel ist soooooo geil the brid is so fucking crrrrrrrazy nice ^^

  • Lol.I'm sure glad, you rescued Snowball, what a happy bird!! I watch the backstreet boyz video, makes me laugh,,I'm so glad I found your webpage, it's in my favorites. My new Green Cheek (Ruby) Loves this she trys to sing with Him.. sure gets her going.. LOL.

    Thank YOU

  • This video ISN'T playing all the way through, IT STOPS, & "sometimes" starts!!! HELP!!!

  • Hi Auntie M,

    It may be that your internet connection isn't fast enough. It has to "buffer" quicker than it plays. It plays fine at my end.

    Irena - Bird Lovers Only Rescue Service, Inc.

  • omg how many birds do u have!? (cuz all the cages)

  • amaizing

  • i love snowball bb....soooooooo  cute!!!!!!!!!

  • That was GET a chuckle folks, . . LOL

    So many typos, so little time, HA

  • I can't help it, I STILL gat such a chuckle out of watching and listening to this one! Wonder what Ringo thought of it? How couldn't he like it??!!!

  • I LOVE IT!!!!! Keep on rocking!!

  • Hi Irena, I can't even begin to tell you how much joy Mookie has brought into my life. Snowball is fun to watch but Mookie touches my heart. That sweet laugh of hers always makes me smile & I love her even more now because my mom is no longer with me. What a sweet gift to share your special babies with all of us.

  • PLEASE let me know as soon as the Aerobicize video of Snowball is available Irena. Can't WAIT to get that!!!! How in the world did Snowball come up with "blowing kisses to the beat"?? Amazing human, er I mean, . . . . human bird

    ;-0

  • YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!! keep rocking out snowball
