Bird Dance Off
Okay, this isn't wild bird related but if it's a slow day and you need some amusement, you can see the winners and finalists for The World's First Dance Off.
BirdChannel.com announced today the "Top Bird Dancer" and runners-up of its widely successful online-based contest, "The World's First Bird Dance-Off." The winner of "Top Bird Dancer" title went to Poirot, a Congo African grey belonging to Mother Barbara of the Convent of St. Elizabeth in Etna, Calif., with 1,334 votes cast. Second place went to Marley, a green-winged macaw owned by Paula Sloniegora of Pointe-Claire, Quebec, Canada, with 1,107 votes.
All I can say is that Marley got robbed! Yeah, the African gray threw in a couple of wing moves, but Poirot is bouncing off beat and c'mon, those kinds of moves to Vivaldi. His owner needs to get with the program, that bird wants to listen to some Fergie-Ferg. Marley is at least on beat as well as rocking a couple of different moves.

Gucci got robbed too. He threw in a wonderful head roll/body lift combo right at the end that was the absolute essence of "Louie, louie". Plus he's a Hyacinth so he gets points just for that. Yeah, thats right, 'cause he's blue.
I agree with the previous poster--Guccis head roll was beautiful.
But Marley ruled that song.
You're right! Gucci does rock. Too bad I got the press release after and not before. We could have voted and helped the hyacinth win.
I love it! Great post! I wish I would have known about it before this because I would have certainly voted!
They're all winners! Nobody can beat Snowball the Cockatoo for the mad stompage skills, though. That bird has some serious moves on him.
I've got to agree with Jess here. That stompin' cockatoo is possibly the funniest parrot footage I've ever seen. I think I've also seen him doing 'Everybody' by the Backstreet Boys.
He bows at the end of the song. You just can't compete with that.
Stompy stompy stomp.
I'm also pleased to hear of a bird so close to home. Yay, west island of Montreal (Quebec)!
