Have 8 parrots - 6 diff. species. Work at home so we spend all day with them. They're out & not clipped, so they fly around & do what they want where they want. I find it's not just ability that leads them to dance to the music playing most of the day - it's interest, just like people. Some like dancing to music; others aren't interested, so they don't even try. Makes it hard to test whether they want to dance & can't, or they just don't want to. But they may sing along to the beat instead.

That "sack of shit" is Boris Yeltsin, once premier of the Soviet Union.
