Dancing Bird

Joan of Argghh! was wondering what species of bird that was doing the moonwalk. I found a slightly longer clip that included the intro to the little dance and the common name of the perpetrator. It's a red-capped manikin (Pipra mentalis) from Central America.

  2. Arghalanche initiated. I can't improve upon Joan's comment, so I'll just echo it:

    "Thanks! This is soooo cool!"

    (Sorry about the plagiarism, Joan.)
