I wonder if you can train birds like Snowball to dance or as some people, not most, say birds dance to a song regardless of what it sounds like or what beat it's sounding like, and what mood the bird is in... like for instance, maybe a happy bird like snowball, for example... would they dance themselves or do they actually require training? i'd love to find out which is the correct answer! yaaaaaaay! XD

@JBrox56 I'm not a bird trainer so I wouldn't be able to tell you whether you can train a bird to dance. However, I can say that a bird will begin bobbing and swaying to music if you play music daily and 1) the bird sees you enjoying it and/or 2) the bird enjoys the music himself. Snowball was never trained, but he certainly LOVES to dance. I'll dance with him until I'm tired out, but he continues dancing on his own.

@Tnem56 Have you ever owned a cockatoo before?

[OsnapArden]

I don't think I've ever actually laughed out loud hysterically to a video before. well done, snowball. You are too cute. :]

[BirdLoversOnly]

@Tnem56 Don't purchase a sulphur-crested cockatoo just because you see this one dancing to music. Each bird has his/her own personality as well as their own likes and dislikes. Appreciate a bird for being a bird, expect nothing more and you will have a wonderful relationship with your bird. I hope you know how difficult it is to keep a cockatoo in captivity. They are the most difficult parrot to keep as a pet.
