Dancing with the Bird, Part 2

Here's your opportunity to truly test your improvisational skills with an actual trial of dancing with the bird. As I described previously, there are few things in the world more inventive and unpredictable than a dancing Cockatoo, and few metaphors more apt to describe the creative challenge of thinking-and-acting on your feet.
In the spirit of challenging you to try something you've never tried before, I am asking you to get up on your feet, right now, click on the picture and try to match moves, headswings and bobs with this bird. Frankly, there is always a benefit to dancing to Ray Charles for two-and-a-half minutes, so you really can't lose. But I want you also to experience how well you can follow, one of the great unsung (and often lost to know-it-all adults) skills of improvisation, collaboration and creativity. Come on, just do it. I won't tell.

If nothing else, click on the picture and go to the 50 second mark of the video to see this bird demonstrate a move with its head heretofore never seen on the planet.

Happy weekend, happy spring and may we all do a lot more bird-dancing this season.
