Sy Montgomery's fabulous true story of how an unwanted cockatoo achieved international fame as a YouTube sensation- with more than 5 million hits! Told "in his own words" Snowball relates how he went from being abandoned to being a television star and scientific study subject, all by rocking out to the beat of his favorite tunes. Everything he says is true, including how he inspired the World’s First Bird Dance-Off Contest, became the subject of a ground-breaking study about rhythm and the brain, and has now gone into teaching children how to dance as well as doing charity work.
