The electric cockatoo is officially named Snowball, a sulfur-crested cockatoo who spontaneously dances to the Backstreet Boys and Queen. The video was part of a research study on birds who move synchronously with music.National Geographic: Birds Can Dance, Experts (and Zany Videos) Reveal (April 30, 2009)

The researchers sought parrots and other birds that seemed to be moving—bobbing their heads and shuffling their feet back and forth—to music. They worked with Snowball, a sulphur-crested cockatoo (Cacatua galerita eleonora), and discovered that the parrot learned to change its movement to match the music, leading them to suppose that dancing in rhythm relies on brain systems for vocal learning.National Geographic: Birds Can Dance, Experts (and Zany Videos) Reveal (April 30, 2009)
