Snowball (TM) on Animal Planets Most Outrageous Animals

[Blody1337]

lol 2:19 xD

[tokreds2]

Can't beleive hes not on americas got talent yet

[BirdLoversOnly]

@tokreds2 We've been asked to go on every year. I don't feel that the show is the right venue for him. We wouldn't be able to talk about bird rescue...it would be strictly entertainment, not informative at all.

who is the greyish black bird in the cage behind snowball

[CHECKOUTMYBALLS900]

you should let snowball dance on ur key boared and it will be the top comment

[Nekorin]

I'm becoming increasingly intrigued by the smart birds I'm seeing on youtube.

[SondraGail]

All of the birds I've had danced and adjusted their dance to the rhythm. I think it's due to the amount of love and personal attention they get. If Snowball was used to that amount of love, it's not wonder he became upset when it was taken from him.

[CakeNightmare]

how com my parrot just sits and poops?!?!

[BirdLoversOnly]

@CakeNightmare Why do many humans sit in front of the TV and eat potato chips? Some of us like to run marathons, some like to dance, some sing....birds are just as diverse.

[ukiuki551]

how can u be in the t.v?

[starwarz507]

the black one in the backround is dancing also so cute ;)

[starwarz507]

I WANT ONE! D:

[GoldieXD129]

its simple snowball was just a Buddhist dancer who got reincarnated into a cockatoo duh its been proven by science

[parakeetportal]

I donated :D. I am so happy for these birds to be rescued and brought some where with love. Also going to get a rock-a-too shirt soon.

[armogirl9]

O MY GOD I cant believe this, its so cute :)

[AfghanBoi786]

LOL



[loley1901]

if you don't put music on for a long time, what happens?

[BirdLoversOnly]

@loley1901 He throws a temper tantrum and yells "It's not fair!" LOL

[lizzil713]

It looks like the grey in the cage wants to dance, too!

[kathicu109]

too bad the tv announcer said it was an Illinois based sanctuary as Dyer is in Indiana!! i grew up in Gary, so I know where you are. been in Michigan since 76 though. Miss the old Indiana days!!! Put your address on my Kathys' Best Exotic Bird Resources website under Rescue and Adoption with the water commercial - great stuff!! I've had birds since age 5, just turned 59. My Grey is here with me right now as I write this. Best to you!!!

[BirdLoversOnly]

@kathicu109 LOL...usually only those who know the northwest Indiana region pick up on that little mistake. I'm like you...I had birds in the house since I was a baby and am now 51. I couldn't imagine a life without birds on my shoulder. :D

[Wingedgamer721]

snowball rocks!!

[Wingedgamer721]

i love snowball!!!

[Wingedgamer721]

[videogirlLen77]

He's amazing!!!!

[Sagittariusification]

amazing....



[Moosiloveyou]

Snowball's got some smooth moves!! xD

[JiantJames]

saw u :D

[JiantJames]

i saw u on animal planet :D

[claudia1034]

I'm sorry i know that this don't have anything to do with snowball.... well I love that bird but I think he also appear in the Whisperer Dog or it was just another Cockatoo named snowball I don't remember the episode but I sweard that i saw a bird just like him in that program

[ivannita20]

amazing o.o

[XxMaNtiSaixX]

My african grey also adjusts to the tempo of music. I'll have to get him dancing on video some time. He only has a standard birdie head bob so it isn't quite as flashy but snowball definitely isn't the only bird capable of feeling the beat as you claim in your interview. In fact considering my Linus is twice as old as your snowball (a previous video said he was 12) I could give you a run for your money about being the first to change tempo with the music as well.

[BirdLoversOnly]

@XxMaNtiSaixX I never said that Snowball was the only bird capable of feeling the beat of music. I stated that he was the first scientifically proven animal to adjust his dancing to match the rhythm of the music. Everyone can see that there are many birds on You Tube and elsewhere that can dance rhythmically. And I'm sure your bird can dance wonderfully as well.

[MrDeCorey]

Wow this is amazing!!!!

I am so glad I found this video.

That is one talented Bird.

[B5girl2342]

omg so cute

[LionGoddess1]

I'm a bird lover too and still have an empty cage sitting like the bird never left(cept I cleaned it thoroughly) after my 8 year old budgie died tragically this year .. yeah I said this year 2010 but anyway.. my heart is mending and I would ilke another bird but it just feels bad knowing I couldn't do a damned thing for him(sudden massive heart attack) one second he was sitting in my hand not being gripped the next he was on his back gasping for air in his last moments of life.

[Ravenerie]

@LionGoddess1 I'm so sorry to hear that! We lost a 9 year old "special needs" cockatiel this year.. and on his last day, he too was gasping for air. It hurts *so* much to see them like that! {hugs}

[ShastaTheHuskyPuppy]

lol i saw this on animal planet! ^^ snowball is so talented! he is so cute!

[starpowergo]

Watch the african grey behind him in the cage at 2:20 hahaha!

[thecherrimtree12]

HAHAHA!!! It's soooo cool!!!!!!

[davidcisneros8]

Wow I Had No Idea How a parrot Can do that! Did They Train That parrot Or Something! but Man i am still trying to get those parrots!

[WickedxWraith]

@davidcisneros8 Only get a cockatoo if you are willing to dedicate a good portion of your life to it, for the next 60-70 years. Don't expect the one you get to dance, and don't get it because you think it might be able to dance. Cockatoos are prone to becoming self mutilators and pluckers, and can even kill themselves if they bite too deep into their skin. I'm not trying to scold you, just making sure you realize what a bird like this comes with. They are also one of the loudest parrots.

[BirdLoversOnly]

@WickedxWraith Thank you so much for this comment! To go a bit further...

Do not get any parrot without some experience of taking care of them. Volunteer at a bird rescue, foster one for a few months, or work at a pet shop that sells birds in order to get a good idea of how much work and responsibility they are. You will find that they each have their own personality. And don't ever "expect" anything from a bird. Let them do what they want...talk, dance, sing, or just be a bird.

[flyingshed]

Snowball beats the hell out of John Travolta. :D

[girlnextdoor56]

I love his dance moves. He is so incredible and intelligent. It blows me away. He can always put a smile on my face. I love his wave or bowing move. That is so neat. I wish I could wake up to him everyday. I don't think I'd ever get in a bad mood then.

[Siovaun]

Snowball has amazing rhythm and he is so cute.

[periwink]

You Goooo SNOWBALL! We luv u :)

[brazilianangell]

[Darius993]

[prettykitty1982]

Snowball always makes me smile i just love him so much thank you for sharing such a lovable bird with the world!!

[dancingsprite]

He's definately a character, but I think I love his video with the scientists best of all!

[goody2shoes24414]

GO SNOW BALL !!!!!!!!!

[Botheparrot]

Snowball rocks!

[djdevo]

The guy had a gold mine and didn't know it, and he gave it away.

[BirdLoversOnly]

Sometimes you love someone or something so much that you know that letting go is the most noble thing to do. His previous owners are among the nicest and most caring people I've ever met.

[SuperSenshi]

You still keep in contact with him? That's really cool! What do they think of all this? ('this' being Snowball's fame)? :D

[parakeet8157]

Thanks 4 posting. I LOVE his blowing kisses. LOL!!!!!! He's sooooo amazing!!!!

[iLuvYa312]

lol i saw this bird on the tv hes sssooo cute : DDDDD

[MudskipperLover]

My parakeets love music, I play it for them all day long, they seem to be more hyper with faster songs but they aren`t as talented as Snowball =)

[DAILL2DEF]

he's showing unbelievable comprehension skills.....i know my tiel "dances", but not really to the beat that much. she does this little head bop and attempts to whistle a beat i taught her, and that's her dance for everything. this guy is actually thinking and adjusting hs moves in real time as the beat changes.....glad to see it's a cockatoo doing this. our birds are smarter than African Greys!

[Flgaljane]

Snowball has true star quality; not to mention rhythm! He and Maru the cat are the absolute best things on YouTube :D Well, okay ... and Mean Kitty, too :) Irena, you are the best thing ever to happen to Snowball and all of your rescue birds. Thank you for everything you do!

[xyzGanz]

I love snowball's videos! They make me smile =D Keep em coming!

<33, Catherine

[littlekewlgirlz]
