Does what it says on the tin. Smac McCreanor (previously) vs. Darwin the parrot.

Bonus! 2 minutes of dancing chicks and chickens

One of Australia's finest exports - and a great example of the ways that contemporary dance can be clever and witty as well as exacting and craftful...

I love these so much. That they should have introduced me to Bobby Caldwell too (I know, I know) is an even bigger bonus.

An absolute treasure as always.

Is there any science about parrot choreography. So far as I know, they don't invent dances unless they hear human music.

Haha! I almost posted this one! She is great.

I don't know what I expected, but this was way better than I expected.

I go down Smac rabbit-holes on the regular! She is such a delight to watch, and seems like a genuine human being, in addition to a colossal talent.

What a lovely way to end the day. If I could move like either one of them I'd never stop.
