Dancing cockatoo is a hit on YouTube

A dancing cockatoo called Snowball has become a massive hit on YouTube with one of his videos reaching nearly 5.5 million hits.

Snowball is a Medium Sulphur Crested Eleanora Cockatoo that dances to the Back Street Boys and other songs that he rates as having a 'very good beat'.

Snowball arrived at the Bird Lovers Only Rescue Service – a not for profit bird rescue and sanctuary in America – in August 2007 and continues to make the helpers there laugh with his fancy footwork.

"We are currently raising funds to build a bird habitat for Snowball and other birds like him," said a spokesperson for the sanctuary.

Three of Snowball's YouTube videos have has massive numbers of hits: Our Dancing Cockatoo (nearly 5.5 million); Snowball's tribute to Michael Jackson (1,858,602); Another One Bites the Dust 3,300,000 hits.
