Eight Clips That Prove Australia’s Own Cockatoo Is The Viral Animal Of 2015

The cockatoo, a parrot native to Australia and parts of South-East Asia, is a species of bird best known for its ability to flawlessly dish out shade. They might be completely inaudible most of the time, but they can usually get the general message of their argument across via expert use of volume, tone, crest expansion, and body language. They are also excellent dancers.

And now, after years of viral videos of cats, dogs, seals, pigs, turtles, monkeys and racoons, enough cockatoo clips have begun trickling through our Facebook feeds that it is finally time to recognise them as the new leaders of the internet animal kingdom.

Here’s the evidence. You’re welcome.
