  • This story involves a cockatoo that can dance - and the researchers who have spent the past decade studying him.
    Snowball has 14 different moves in his dance routine which experts believe shows some birds are capable of sophisticated cognitive control and , like us, parrots share a tendency to dance when the music moves them.
    Sky's Noel Phillips reports.

      Yes also many macaws and amazons also dance. The people in the video discussing this topic know nothing about parrots as a whole or Birds in general.

      @mayganphynix8267 3 года назад +11

      this goes for many other animals. even the ones less intelligent, form bonds with loved ones, miss them if they are taken away from them and grieve when they pass away. Nonhuman Animals are taken advantage of and exploited in so many ways and to such a degree, that the human race in general, doesn't even see them as victims.

      Lucas Bailey African Greys are the most accomplished when it comes to speech and noise imitation and recognition. But ravens and crows far outdo them in terms of problem solving. Which is why ravens and crows are more often said to be the “most intelligent” bird species.
