Share videos of your birds dancing!

[BoomBoom]

I know you've caught your birds dancing when they thought no one was watching! Get it on video and post it here!

Here's one to start. Boomer loves to bop his head to music. He has no rhythm, poor thing. He tries though, bless his little heart.

Super cute video! Boomer has more than enough enthusiasm to make up for any rhythm he may be lacking.

 

[BoomBoom]

Thanks, Allee! He used to only dance to Bollywood music but will now dance to anything - even ballads!

Boomer is such a riot. Skittles will do this 'swagger' whenever he hears Bob Seger's "Old Time Rock n Roll". I had actually uploaded a video clip of it to YT, but some **** reported it for song copyright and YT took it down. BS, imo.

Sometimes though, Skittles will go all depeche mode and dance to the silence.

Skitty: That sounds so cute, you have to take another vid! Do the song at a lower background so they can't report you.

Brolie: Pooka is adorable. Great dance moves! Was someone doing the "UDD-TSHH, UDD-TSHH" bass sound effect from the Mallrats movie? Boomer dances to that too, haha!

@BoomBoom That's actually how it originally was. It was the radio playing in the background. I've seen countless videos on YT with music being the 'actual' background. Given the slowness of YT uploads - I don't upload videos with music anymore - not to YT anyways.

Here is Cheerio's backup dancer tryout! I think he's got a shot at the big time!

You know, I could probably take another video and just omit the music OR wait til he dances to the silence - which he does on occasion. It's just a matter of being able to catch him without him being distracted.

The down side of owning a sun is that it's nearly impossible to sneak up on them or catch them doing something without them noticing. They are always so in tune with what we are doing. Like a security camera. Literally.

No music, but this is her "happy dance" when I get home from work, lol

The exact same BS happened to me a couple of years ago. Believe it or not, you could hear my birds loud and clear outside, and the music was only in the background (playing through the radio). Someone reported it and BAM, it was taken off YT and I received a copyright warning.

Ever since then I make my YT videos 'unlisted', and haven't had any more issues. Heck, my radio is ALWAYS on.... :54:

@jerseywendy How do you do that with the videos - unlist them, that is. Can you still share them with people?

@jerseywendy How do you do that with the videos - unlist them, that is. Can you still share them with people?

It's an option when you upload the video. After the fact, go to the video, click on "video manager" under the video on the right, Edit, then under the video change it from public to unlisted.

I don't know what impresses me more, the dancing, or the fact that Jelly Bean refrains from eating your music notes!!! Hahaha!

No mistaking the complete and utter joy in that dance! Rapture about covers it! Hahaha!

BoomBoom, great idea for a thread. I'm greatly enjoying all of these videos.

But if they are unlisted, how can people watch them? That's what I want to know. That'd be great if I could do that, unlist them but still share them with people at my discretion!

 

[Anansi]

That's exactly what happens. People can't find it via a search, but anyone who has the link can go directly to it.

 

[BoomBoom]

The videos of Jellybean, Cheerio and Willow are just too cute! The piano music for Jellybean is perfect!

@jellybean

You should train Jellybean to turn the pages for you. LOL.
