First off, Snowball is not mimicking the human. And if the human weren't in the room, he'd STILL start bopping and feeling the music.
I live with a darling rescued Senegal parrot, and he's constantly dancing and bopping to the music. No matter the style of music, he quickly picks up on the rhythm and dances accordingly. In fact, while I was watching this video for the third time, Mazi -- who likes to hang out on top of my head -- started dancing along.
This was most enjoyable to watch, so thank you!
