You need this cockatoo on your bowling team right now

With some determination and some encouragement from friends, even a white cockatoo can master the skill of bowling.

It might be difficult to teach an old dog new tricks, but it turns out it is very easy to teach a white Moluccan cockatoo how to bowl. 

With a soft bowling ball in its beak and about seven pins set up for the game, the bird valiantly tosses the ball.

You can't tell who is prouder - the bird's owner or the cockatoo itself - because both of them squeal very loudly when the bird manages to knock all the pins down.

No one can perform at their peak indefinitely, so it is not surprising that towards the end of the video the bird would rather toss the pins and the bowling ball around than aim to score any more points. After all, winners know when to stop. 

Who can tell how long it takes to train a cockatoo to bowl?

But all the local bowling teams had better watch out: there's a new rival in town.
