Cockatoo rocks out to Elvis! (Video)

Now this is a viral-worthy video. Mark’s two amazing cockatoos named Stan and Ollie were hanging out in the kitchen when he decided to grab the guitar and jam out to some Elvis tunes. A few moments into playing the King’s 1956 song “Don’t Be Cruel,” and I nearly spit out my coffee. Keep your eyes on the bird on the right. He sways, he dances, he bops, and he head-bangs — and the longer Dad plays through the song, the crazier the bird’s movements become. It’s safe to say he genuinely loves the music, and “feels” it just like us humans do! His more reserved counterpart, however, doesn’t seem to appreciate his brother’s energy. LOL!

The music-loving bird bops, sways and puffs up his head feathers in delight. He even tries to get his buddy to join in on the fun. And at 1:40? Ollie shows off what a serious Elvis fan he is! Ollie’s energy and enthusiasm put a big smile on my face. You don’t have to be a die-hard Elvis Presley fan to appreciate his talent. His music, after all, has stood the test of time. We can all name at least one favourite Elvis song that makes us want to sing along and dance to, even if we can’t quite shake our hips like he did. The King of Rock and Roll seems to have fans of different species.

This bird goes crazy!

The cockatoo’s reaction to “Don’t be Cruel” is instant. He begins to dance while his feathers perk up and resemble Elvis’ pompadour. This is too funny! We all have that ONE friend that you can’t take anywhere, well this little guy looks like he is the life of the party! For his feathery friend, who seems less than impressed with the song, may likely prefer the king’s ballads. The other one is obviously NOT an Elvis fan! It’s been a long time since I’ve laughed so hard while watching a video, but this hilarious bird completely made my day! Trust me, you should only watch this if you’re prepared to completely crack up. Watch his moves!
