"My pet cockatoo loves to bop along to the likes of Kate Bush, Vengaboys and even METALLICA"
- last year
A man's pet cockatoo shot to fame after he discovered she had an ear for music - and loves to bop along to the likes of Kate Bush, Vengaboys and even METALLICA.
David Holt, 41, has had his feathered companion, Pearl, for 14 years and they have a close bond.
David discovered nine years ago that Pearl has a keen ear for music.
The bird bops her head in time to the music when a song has a rhythm she likes - a talent which has amassed her thousands of online fans.
Some of her favourite tracks include Kate Bush's 'Running Up That Hill', 'Blurred Lines' by Robin Thicke and even Metallica's 'Enter Sandman'.
Pearl's 350k-strong fanbase on TikTok send recommendations for new tracks to try daily and David says he won't stop until Pearl tells him to.
David, a project engineer, from Cumming, Georgia, US, said: "I DJ as a hobby so I would often have music playing - that was where it started.
