Cockatoo Challenged to Dance-Off by Sister Breaks Out Hilarious Moves

Bella and Trixie are two rescued Umbrella Cockatoos who love to dance—and have dance-offs! When their mom, TikTokker @bellatrixiecorbin, learned that the two birds needed to be rescued, she “jumped right on it” and gave the pair a forever home. She is doing everything she can to make Bella and Trixie happy and feel right at home.

Recently, she took the two cockatoos outside and was playing the radio when Earth, Wind & Fire’s song September came on. The music inspired a dance-off with an unexpected, hilarious twist.

When Bella noticed her sister Trixie grooving to the beat, she figured she was being challenged to a dance-off and began dancing too. But as Mom discovers, Bella takes the competition seriously!

Watch the video below:

The sweet video is captioned: “Bella oh, okay my sister wants a dance off? Ok, easy. Step aside.” It instantly went viral and has racked up over 18 million views.

One viewer commented about Bella’s performance: “She did not have to go that hard” to which @bellatrixiecorbin responded “She’s extra!”

Another noted, “Them babies got soul Earth, Wind, and Fire would be proud.” @bellatrixiecorbin answered, “Yes!! I’m introducing these girls to ALL the good music!! 🙂 Sometimes, I just add a song that FITS the situation!”

Several people commented that Bella reminded them of actor and comedian Chris Farley and his dancing. @bellatrixiecorbin loved this comparison and noted that Bella is “always doing wild moves.”

Several wanted to see the video with the birds dancing along to ‘What is Love’ from A Night at the Roxbury, and the TikTokker obliged.

It’s so wonderful seeing these two rescue birds enjoying their new life. @bellatrixiecorbin plans on giving them lots of love. She wrote, “They needed me & that’s all that mattered! This will be their LAST & final home!! Perfect time in my life, it was meant to be!”
