According to new studies released, birds can truly feel the beat, as they have the ability to dance to music..........Washington (dbTechno) - According to new studies released, birds can truly feel the beat, as they have the ability to dance to music.

The first study on this was led by Dr. Aniruddh Patel from The Neurosciences Institute in San Diego, California.  His team worked to study a cockatoo to see if birds could really dance to music.

What they found through various experiments is that the bird actually would move and dance to the music in rhythm.

The cockatoo they studied was named Snowball, and was able to actually dance to several different styles of music, never missing a beat.

The second study was led by Adena Schachner of Harvard University, as they watched animals from YouTube videos to see if they truly could dance.

What they found was that parrots had the ability to dance to the beat of the music, with ease.

These two studies are very interesting as it shows that birds actually have the ability to hear human music, and follow the beat of it.
