Funny Cockatoo Dances Better Than Most Human Beings
If there's one thing that this TikTok will do, it's brighten your day! @Michele is an animal rescuer who rescued a cockatoo named Chicken who had been severely neglected for many years. She shared a video of Chicken bustin' a move in September 2023, and I have watched it at least 5 times!
Chicken no longer has feathers on her body due to anxiety and depression which lead to plucking for many years. Chicken may look 'weird' (that's what my kids said) but that doesn't stop her from gettin' her groove on and enjoying life!

I love that you can hear @Michele cheering Chicken on in the background! The naked but funny cockatoo is having a blast, and it made me want to dance, too!
Michele explains in her caption that Chicken was severely neglected and lived in a dark basement for years. She plucked as a way of dealing with stress. She also had two untreated breaks in her legs. These days, she's living a happy life with Michele's family and healing from the abuse. I think many of us appreciated the video even more after learning all of that.
@Aiman Adeele98 swooned, "Sooo cute!!!" @Francine shared, "She is so freaking fabulous. I love you Chicken." Another commenter added, "Boogie little Chicken, boogie"! I'm with @klaramoulana who said, "He’s so cute without feathers I can watch this forever"! @tomcatinatiara asked, "Is she actually dancing when she hears the music? LOL!", and Michele replied back, "Yes!"
I think it's fair to say that we're all happy that Michele is taking such good care of the parrot and that Chicken seems to be thriving. I can't wait to watch more TikToks about her!
