POPSSnowball The Dancing Cockatoo (Scary) This cockatoo is something else. He dances to the rhythm of the beat like any well coordinated human being with the talent of dance. Watching this bird get down makes you wonder what is going on in that tiny little brain of his. There definitely is someone home. Scientist are baffled by this... see more at this site: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=103629651&sc=emaf and http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8027379.stm original video on Youtube below: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYMBIGTteWA

POPSBlack Cockatoo Hey Tabsey, Not a great shot but certainly shows the lovely colour in the tail of this black cockatoo. Whilst they aren't seen every day. I am often surprised by seeing flocks of them flying about or feasting on whatever tree is flowering or fruiting at the time. I always feel quite privileged when I see them - like they are some kind of extra special omen of good fortune :-)

POPSScientists Say Some Animals "Dance" to a Musical Beat To cast a wider net in the animal kingdom, Schachner and colleagues searched YouTube for videos of dancing animals. Out of about 1,000 such videos, they found 49 that appeared worthy of a detailed analysis; 33 videos showed convincing evidence of animals following a musical beat.

POPSSnowball the dancing cockatoo I hate to see birds in cages, but this one belongs to a bird rescue centre. If you haven't seen Snowball do his thing you're in for a real treat :-) Go Snowball!

POPSStatistics and the Dancing Cockatoo "On each trial he actually dances at a range of tempos," says Patel. But in each case the slower end of Snowball's range seemed to correlate with the tempo of the music. "When the music tempo was slow, his tempo range included slow dancing. When the music was fast, his tempo range didn’t include these slower tempos," Patel explains. A statistical check on these variations showed that the correlation between the music’s rhythm and Snowball’s slower movements was very unlikely to have happened by chance. "To us, this shows that he really does have tempo sensitivity, and is not just ‘doing his own thing’ at some preferred tempo," says Patel. Via Andrew Sullivan
