So....Music
Hat:
Doesn't necessarily mean anything about how the brain differentiates between music and vocals (if at all), it's plausible this correlation exists because the empty spaces around the glottis and other speech organs allows specific resonances that trigger physical responses from certain low end sounds (note how the bird is mostly getting down to the bass, although to be fair that is how you DO IT AW YEAH), and also there are many more examples of rhythm in animals with no advanced vocal ability whatsoever than there are of dancing, talking birds.
Although I may be biased against talking birds that also dance for personal reasons
Eris:
Also, if you watch the episode where the bird is on Late Show you can see that the owner "dances" along with him, and he might be reacting to her movements more than the actual music.
est:
Yeah, that is more likely than the bird dancing on it's own accord. My nan used to have two cockatoos, one would react to very small movements. Like, you could bob your finger and it would bob its head. You poke at it even slightly and it would hang from the cage using its beak. You make any kind of movement waving your hands and it would start waving its wings. It's more likely that the lady dances to the music and the bird dances with the lady, reacting to her movements rather than inventing its own movements to accompany the music.
Dennisdread:
Pink Floyd is hackneyed and overrated. I could easily go the rest of my life without hearing another note of that crap and never once miss any of it.
Fock Pink Floyd. Seriously.
Thrillho:
...Um. Okay. Thanks for that relevant, worthwhile contribution?
