Birds

We should celebrate the Fourth by coming together, even with our enemies. This bird is way, way ahead of the curve on that score.

In this cute video, a cockatoo named Tonto shows his appreciation for classic rock by banging his head vigorously and shaking his tail feathers to AC/DC's 'You Shook me All Night Long.' Hell's bells, he's got some moves!

These aren't just any everyday birdhouses. They're fun, awesome and incredible creations. Take a look at some bird mansions, some fun hand-crafted pieces and even a R2-D2 house!

It’s all the rage, but it’s not easy to do. Well, it’s not easy to do while not looking like a complete idiot. But it can’t be impossible. If this bird can do it, so can you. Maybe he can teach you to 'Dougie.'

In Saudia Arabia, an eight-foot runaway ostrich recently snarled traffic, caused accidents and distracted drivers as it ran loose through the busy streets in the southern town of Abha. The animal even got knocked down by a truck at one point, but the mighty bird picked itself up and just kept going.

Hummingbirds are usually a whirlwind of activity. But, like any animal, they are a lot calmer when they sleep. Although this female Amethyst-throated Sunangel is certainly quite a snorer.

This empathetic golden retriever provides comfort to a bird who fell out of a tree. The 1-year-old pooch lays beside the wounded animal until it unfortunately passes away.

Why did the chicken cross the road? Forget that, he drove down the highway. While we're 99.9 percent positive that the bird is not actually driving this vehicle, we have to wonder, What is a chicken doing in a car anyway?

Rosie, the Goffin cockatoo, rhythmically dances to some cool jazz. Goffin's are among the better talkers when it comes to the cockatoo, so for her video we expect her to be bebopping along, too.

In 1941, a single dwindling flock of 15 whooping cranes remained in the entire world. But thanks to a novel conservation organization, Operation Migration, there are well over 500 of the still-endangered birds gliding through the skies. It just took a little work to teach them how.

At a bluegrass festival in North Carolina, a tiny music-loving bird lands on the guitar of musician Josh Williams and refuses to budge. Not that we blame him. It's the best seat in the house after all.

Most falconers don't have the opportunity to take their pet hawks for a flight, but this presumed trainer isn't like most falconers. He's able to hang glide with his hawk as they both fly over a beautiful coastal scene. Check out the stunning video below.

While exploring a bathroom, one sneaky parrot attempts to hide from view underneath a towel. The camera zooms in to find out what kind of mischief the bird is up to, but the parrot knows it's being watched.

We'd accuse this woodpecker of pecking up the wrong tree, but the problem is his target is actually the metal pole of a ham radio tower. The confused bird apparently kept trying for days.

After being stared down by a rude human, this goose goes on the attack, and bites his tormentor square in the butt. Watch it all in glorious slow motion.
