NEWS ALERT!
This Bird Has Moves!
Irena Schulz/MEGA/Newscom
So you think only humans can dance? Snowball the cockatoo definitely has some smooth moves to show you.
Snowball rose to fame a few years ago when a video of him bopping to a pop song went viral. Researchers say that proved he can keep a beat—but can he actually dance?
Apparently, yes! A new study reveals that the sulphur-crested cockatoo has 14 distinct dance moves he developed all on his own. That makes cockatoos (and other parrots) the only nonhuman species known to dance without training.
