Cockatoos rule. Check out the video of Snowball's hot dance moves here.Some birds have a remarkable talent for dancing, two studies published in Current Biology suggest.
Footage revealed that some parrots have a near-perfect sense of rhythm; swaying their bodies, bobbing their heads and tapping their feet in time to a beat.
Previously, it was thought that only humans had the ability to groove.
The researchers believe the findings could help shed light on how our relationship with music and the capacity to dance came about.
One bird, Snowball, a sulphur-crested cockatoo (Cacatua galerita eleanora ), came to the researchers' attention after YouTube footage suggested he might have a certain prowess for dance - especially when listening to Everybody by the Backstreet Boys.
