Someone give this bird a record deal!
A cockatoo has already made over eight-million people smile with a video that has gone viral on Facebook.
The cheeky cockatoo can be seen bopping its head along while singing to the tune of 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight'.
‘The Lion Sleeps Tonight’ was created in a small town in South Africa almost a century ago. Originally called ‘Mbube’ (which means 'lion' in Zulu), the song was written by Solomon Linda, who was born near Ladysmith in KwaZulu-Natal, and recorded by him in 1939.

Do you have a parrot who can totally put this guy to shame?
