Birds can dance and front metal bands?

According to a recent NPR report, as well as a viral youtube video, humans are not the only animal that can keep a beat. The article centers on a jiving cockatoo with a predisposition to the BACKSTREET BOYS. Here’s a video of Snowball doing his thing: I wonder what would happen if you put some HATEBREED on the stereo for Snowball? The answer to that question comes from a parrot named Waldo, who is also the lead-screecher in the grind-core project HATEBEAK. And yes, it’s really a parrot-led metal band. Check out their bad-ass promo photo: I wouldn’t want to run into that guy in a dark alley with a pocket full of sunflower seeds.
