    I'm not sure about this one. Kinda looks like someone shot video of their bird dancing, and then added the music later.

    Looks to me like it's trying to rid itself of a ringing in its ears.

    Maybe its rebelling against the awful "music"; birds can have sensitive hearing sometimes, I believe.

    Craig, I had my doubts too, but I laughed so much I thought I'd share ;)

    Call me a dork, but I see an animal that defintely is not okay here. If a cockatoo looks ruffled in his feathers like this and behaves like that, it has psychological problems. It does not feel well.

    So the only thing I can say here is- Poor animal... So sad to see- my heart bleeds for this creature.

    Rock on Birdy

    But really, I'm inclined to agree with Screen Sleuth. The sound of that must be killing his ears.

    @Foreigner1: I think the bird is fine--maybe a little ringing in the ears, but no psychological damage. I grew up with 2 cockatoos and they love music, dancing, and acting a little crazy once in a while. My parents birds do this all the time, although they have different musical tastes.

    If he was acting like this all the time, then you can get worried.
