The Resume

    (circa 2001- )
    Sulfur-crested cockatoo
    Can allegedly dance by bobbing his head and moving his feet to rock music
    Lives at the Bird Lovers Only sanctuary in Schererville, Indiana
    Featured on Inside Edition and CNN

Why he might be annoying:

    The head of the Bird Lovers Only sanctuary refers to herself as his mom.
    In his hokey ‘autobiography’ on the sanctuary’s website, he compares himself to a wild teenager.
    He is not the first dancing bird to get attention—Alex had rhythm too.
    His favorite group is Backstreet Boys.
    He has done a commercial for a Swedish bottled water company.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He dances better than many people.
    His original owner gave him up when he became difficult to handle.
    Two studies have concluded that he is genuinely moving to the musical beat (rather than mimicking humans or responding to cues).
    He suggests birds are more advanced than previously imagined.
    He enjoys dancing to Queen and Huey Lewis as well.
