I don't think the cockatoo understand's japanese music O.O

[XxPuppyTheCaninexX]

xD Ohmygosh, I take Japanese and I love birds so much! x3 I have Eclectus.

[NodDisciple1]

Isn't the music from 4:40 from Team America? :?

[vampireheart115]

Dudes I think the best music for this bird would be some kind of metal because of his excellent headbanging at 4:35 (very lovely^^) and some kind of house^^

like this bird^^

[werecatgirl]

Japanese shows crack me up haha I totally didn't expect a dancing priest lol!

[BirdLoversOnly]

This show is my personal favorite! I still grabbed onto what was implied even though I couldn't understand Japanese. It was VERY enjoyable for us to film! If I'm not mistaken, the priest is actually one of Japan's most famous and loved comedians.

subtitles?

[Rukia53304]

lol!!! I love this vid of snowball :o at like 3:18 or something he was like WOOT why did he not like japanese music?! x3

[Slobbert]

Put on Benny Benassi's song "Satisfaction". It would make a GREAT video.

[fluffyundertaker]

Woot! You guys are based in Indiana! Love the bird

[Orjas67]

What does the christian priest say in 3:30?

[Msut]

Dude not only is he totally awesome, he looks exactly like Shatner!

[harmoniamonde]

The last comment said that " He can even read atmosphere (the last cd is Japanese TV personality George Tokoro's "best" album which is not a smash hit at all, but snowball give him a mercy)"

[atomicrooster]

I bet he'd go crazy to some psytrance like 1200 mics. I wonder if he would dance to some Reggae?

[daiquirikiss]

as a japanese language major.. that was especially fun for me to watch.

[MagsandIzzy]

I am fascinated by this little fellow. I cannot find the link to the Christmas carol film clip can anyone help. He is wonderful.

[pixelizr]

I think Snowball did not respond to the first Japanese songs because they were played from a laptop, which probably did not provide much bass nor volume. When you played music on your desktop PC, which had proper audio capabilities, we saw that he was able to more easily capture the beat and respond. Somewhere in the clip, the announcer quipped that Snowball did not respond at all to Japanese songs. But I don't think the songs being from Japan mattered at all. It was just the audio quality.

[BirdLoversOnly]

Extensive research has been done on parrots regarding their hearing capabilities. They cannot hear the low tones, nor can they hear the very high tones. We experimented with Snowball last year with playing the same song through various different sound systems including a very high quality Bose sound system. He responded the same no matter what the quality of the sound system. He is listening to the midrange.

[shintaro1]

lol. That CD they gave you at the end is by one of the co-hosts of the television show.

[verticalsmurf]

Do the birds in the cages in the background get jealous that Snowball gets out to play, and they don't?

[auntydale]

I think that many birds in the parrot family like to dance. I used to have a pair of Sun Conures who danced. You can see 4 of them sitting on the Japanese bird man at the aviary. The Sun Conures are the ones with the pretty yellow and orange colors. Mine used to dance to just about anything, but the female especially liked the whistling theme from the Disney animated feature, Robin Hood.

[Existantia]

3:45 I wish more priests did that...

[chibitamalove]

... considering they went to her house, I'm assuming they asked her permission, and worked out whatever kind of deal worked out for the both of them. Why would she sue them just for filming her bird and giving her a CD, which she obviously is allowing?

[myboomstick]

lolwut? O.o

[gaforb]

excellent rythmn for a white bird!

[kempogirl101]

haha

[kkevink01]

lol hes sooo famous he was on a magazine Lol i read it :D

[SanaYasha]

I like how his head feathers just zoom up like a lightbulb like "OOH! MY SONG!" lol So cute

[Redwingparrot]

he is so cute

my parrot is dancing on britney spears..

but snowball is much better

[Kabuki0Kozou]

Im happy that i understand some japanese, I love it when they get serious and exited, like @3.17 when he said nanto sugoi homono Is like nanto=WHAT IN SHOCK sugoi=Great and then he said he really hm maybe he meant he really dances

[sundina501621]

[Animelover4175]

hey irene how u know what the japanise lady is saying cuz all i heard was her speaking in her language and not english same with that other vid with the teenage boy

i can understand a word they are saying at all.

[BirdLoversOnly]

I do not understand Japanese either. But we do have many fans from Japan and they do understand what is being said. Snowball will be on his fifth Japanese TV show in a few weeks. Japan loves Snowball.

Irena - Bird Lovers Only Rescue Service, Inc.

[featuringb]

whats this show called?

[BirdLoversOnly]

It's Japan's version of "Believe It Or Not." I couldn't tell you what the Japanese name is since I don't understand or speak Japanese.

Irena - Bird Lovers Only Rescue Service, Inc.

[SimulationGuy121]

What he hell was with that guy at 3:32!

[Kabuki0Kozou]

He was saying

Sekai wa = The World or Century

[ElvenAvariel]

Oh my, you do not know about Beat Takeshi? "That guy at 3:32" is a legend of filmmaking. He started as a comedian, made some movies, and now hosts his own variety shows. I'd say he is one of the most famous people in Japan and well known to anyone studying film or anything Japanese. It must have been quite the honor to be on his show. Well done, Snowball!

[BirdLoversOnly]

We really enjoyed this show immensely and were very grateful that Snowball was asked to be on this show. All of our friends and family said that this was one of their favorites!

Irena - Bird Lovers Only Rescue Service, Inc.

[ElvenAvariel]

Oopsie. Meant to post this as a reply to

SimulationGuy121. Seems I failed. Sorry for the out-of-place comment, ne? ^_^

[BirdLoversOnly]

No problem at all. I knew you were commenting on the other post. This really was a lot of fun to film. The crew that came here was great!

[b03y]

wow those shows are weird! haha

[KrossedDaoshi]

How funny, the dramatic parts when he began to dance to the songs playing xD Congrats, hopefully these types of things will get more of your birds adopted =D

[eight6sevenfive3oh9]

Why did they play Kraftwerk's "Trans Europe Express" at 1:27? Anywho, glad to see Snowball get some publicity outside of the internets. =)

[BirdLoversOnly]

Thanks for noticing! I didn't realize that it was a tune by Kraftwerk...I ended up watching the video again to see what part you were talking about. It seemed to have the right rhythm to go along with Snowball's dancing. Snowball continues to appear on tv shows and news programs around the world. He's quite the celebrity!

Irena - Bird Lovers Only Rescue Service, Inc.

[MafiosoStory]

This is just TOO rich! Snowball is perfect... and I truly think I see the spirit of Rock and Roll reincarnated in this guy!

[adora80]

thanks Irene for snowball.....it makes us all smile....snowball is amazing...my 5yr old daughter cant get enough of him...i hope u get all the money u need for ur project..with love from Africa.

[BirdLoversOnly]

Thank you! We're so happy that he makes everyone's day a little brighter!

[windowlicker1]

damn thats the coolest bird ever

[Maccamare]

With ALL due respect Irena, is there any way to go to your site here with all the videos and not have to have this Japanese video open & start playing without choosing to? It seems to always come on whether I want to see it or not.

[wlp0604]

I love how snowball dances to the beat of the music. This birds got RHYTHEM!

[ironmogul]

Anybody know who the girl in the blue dress is?

Snowball is global. Do you realize that if everyone who watched these videos would send in just one dollar ($1.00)

you could have built the bird habitat. One dollar isn't much but combined with everyone else it could accomplish so much.

[mariellejpn]

Wow thanks so much for posting this vid, I live in Japan but I missed this show so it's great being able to watch it! Snowball rocks as always! 8) Love him!!

Japanese TV is a bit silly though isn't it? Can't believe 2 out of 5 people thought Snowball was a fake!

[Bella3270]

You nice lady! I see you on TV before. How much for your bird? I buy him for my mom - promise to keep him safe. I think she like him.

[DrHeckill]

[bobbe12356789]

omg snowball is going to be a millionare!

[darkmage445]

wow he is famous worldwide! we all love snowball!

[bluebloodguru]

Hey Irena glad to see you guys are making the rounds about the world!! We missed you on our migration over to WI maybe we can stop in on our way back to NJ...take care...

[syceramics]

Oh, Please, Somebody find the beat!!!! Give me a little base & some rythum!!! This was just a hoot!! Go Snowball!!!

[pattyinla]

That was fun!!! I love the look on Snowballs face when the Japanese music came on.

[chapmando2007]

Maybe snowball can be the next great reality show. I believe in snowball.

[chapmando2007]

Wow. I think Snowball is turning Japanese LOL.

[MsGirlee]

Hi Irena...I can understand Japanese, and this was a treat. They were so fascinated. Thanks for sharing. !!

[Maccamare]

Hey, so tell us what they said!!

[BirdLoversOnly]

This film crew played several songs for Snowball and he only danced to one of the songs that they brought. He didn't like the other songs and just looked at us all like "You must be kidding me."

Irena - Bird Lovers Only Rescue Service, Inc.

[hope4lyf1]

I love snowball, hes my favorite bird!! id pay thousands for him if i could lol hes amazing!! tell him I said hi!

[BirdLoversOnly]

The first bird that is shown once the film crew enters the rescue is Mookie, the moluccan cockatoo that is disabled in both legs. She's the one babbling and laughing on the Snowball/Ringo Starr video.

[Maccamare]

HEY, so COOL to see this Irena!!! I sure wish there was a translation. I remember you telling some of the premise of the show. Will Sunday's filming be different when they come again? Good thing Snowball's dancing is the same in ANY language :-0

[BirdLoversOnly]

The Japanese TV show that will be filming this Sunday is a different show than the one here. I was told that a celebrity was going to be coming along, but they didn't say who. I'm hoping it's Elvis.
