00:00One day I was just filming the dance turn by myself in the kitchen. Little did I know

00:08that she was actually going to do the dance turn in the middle of the camera.

00:17She comes up with different dances. She's not just bouncing up and down, like just moving

00:20her head and her wing. Since then we've been doing a little bit of dancing. We always dance

00:33together. Now that's another way of bonding with her.

00:43She likes bounce music and rap music and Caribbean music.

00:54I think that she sees dancing as a way to get attention because the minute she starts

00:58to do it, everyone in the house pays attention to her.

01:01Coco is a very clingy bird.

01:07Here I am, just working on my laptop, and she has decided to join me. Um, correction.

01:14She demanded to join me by screaming very, very loudly.

01:19There is no stopping her. If I don't pay her any attention, she will continue yelling.

01:24One is screaming. Do you see this? I caught you!

01:38She gets very much involved in everything. Coco just helping around her Caribbean household.

01:46I'm just trying to knit in peace and Coco has decided to take over the task for me.

01:55Coco already told you how to do the purling method. Like, that's not how you do it.

02:02It's Coco's world and we're all just building it, honestly.

02:07After we dance together, she finally gets all the attention that she was seeking. So

02:11she lets me do my work in peace. You want some head scratches, choo-choo bug? You want

02:16some head scratches? I hope she keeps dancing forever because her dancing means she's happy.

02:23Her previous owners, they mistreated her in a way and I'm very thankful that

02:27the trauma she went through in that old household did not take over.

02:33We're playing footsies.

02:35I plan on having Coco forever. She's just a little dancing queen. I love her. I'm outside,

02:41just like soaking in the sun and of course Coco's with me in her new little um leash.

02:52Because Coco has to be everywhere with me. Nah, I don't mind though. You okay, choo-choo?

02:58Oh, you are?
