did you all notice the bird in the cage beside it?  it was getting down too  Spydie the bird is in a town by here and came into a rescue place along with the CD and the guy told them to play it and watch the birds reaction. Will see if I can find the story later. I'm thinking it's in Merrillville which is one of those places I can't tell where Gary ends and it starts. LOL |

Found it and it is Schererville and not Merrillville......same thing only on a different side of town.
SCHERERVILLE, Ind. - Snowball the cockatoo can't get enough of the Backstreet Boys. The 11-year-old medium sulfur-crested cockatoo lifts his legs, squawks and bobs his head, flashing his bright yellow crest to the beat of the boy band's "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)." He even takes a bow with a vigorous bob of his head at the end of the 1997 pop tune.
When Snowball was given to a bird rescue shelter a few months ago, the man included the CD and instructions to watch his reaction.
Irena Schulz said she almost fainted at the sight.
"I'm thinking, `What on Earth is this? This is unreal,'" said Irena, who runs Bird Lovers Only Rescue with her husband, Chuck.
The couple said they have been contacted by people from around the world who have watched Snowball on the video-sharing Web site YouTube.
They have more than 30 birds in their home and many are available for adoption. "He makes a great spokesbird for the rescue," Chuck Schulz said.
Snowball has found his permanent home.
"He's my baby," Irena Schulz said. "He will stay here and be loved."

Thanks D. Sounds like he did it on his own because he likes the song. Yep, he will bring them a lot of attention to their rescue shelter.

They say the problem with these type birds is they live so long and people get tired of messing with them or older people get them and then when they (the people) die their family's don't want them.

I don't believe this bird did that....how in the world did they train it to do that?
