That was very funny! Those darn animals. :)

Amazing. And hilarious.

So, bird enthusiasts, please explain - is it an atavistic behaviour expressing itself incorrectly in captivity (like my cat trying to bury food using the solid wall), is it learned by observation, training - or does the little guy just really like grooving to music?

It certainly looks like the latter, but then again I find it difficult to de-anthropomorphise stuff like that.

Great, now other species dance better than I do.
