Dancing and playing soccer are two activities that are humans are known for doing, but don't tell that to this cockatoo. She's a bird with lots of hobbies, and she's pretty great at all of them. Don't believe me? Just check out what she does when she's given a soccer ball… and how she celebrates afterwards.
They might not be as popular as cats or dogs, but cockatoos are super fun to have as pets thanks to their intelligent minds and funny personalities. They can be taught to do just about anything, and this goofy guy proved it when he learned to play peek-a-boo with his owner! I have no idea how this bird's owner taught her how to play soccer, but it's one of the coolest skills I've ever seen any bird learn.
My favorite part of this video is the little happy dance that this cute cockatoo performs when she scores. It's like her own little victory celebration! And what's even neater is that she probably learned that part herself — many cockatoos have a natural sense of rhythm, which explains why this one did so well in a dance-off against a macaw. In fact, I think this bird is a better dancer than most humans I know.
This cockatoo has already proven herself to be a soccer star, but I wonder if her human will help her learn any other sports. She's so smart, I wouldn't be surprised if she became the world's first basketball-playing bird!
Don't you just adore this talented bird? SHARE this video with all your friends and help make her famous!
