Snowball, the dancing cockatoo, visited NYC's World Science Festival last weekend, and here's some charming video of him teaching the audience how to dance;

this video of Antarctica is mostly footage of animals; penguins, gulls, seals and breaching humpback whales;

You also might be interested to notice that an avian DNA sexing lab is advertising with ScienceBlogs (check the banner at the top of the page, or reload the page if the banner is showing a different advertiser). I think this is wonderful!

cheers,
