A beatboxing Brooklyn vet has discovered his hobby is the perfect way to relax a stressed-out pet cockatoo.
Dwayne Caton filmed himself doing a beatbox routine as Simon the Goffin’s cockatoo bopped about on his arm.
The hilarious footage shows the 30-year-old bird dancing and squawking while his owner demonstrates his verbal percussion skills.

Simon moved his way up and down Mr Caton's hand while dancing and screeching to the beat
Simon had come to the vet's clinic having started pulling out its own feathers.
Captive birds will pluck their own feathers due to boredom, loneliness, lack of exercise or even sexual frustration, say experts.
But dancing with Mr Caton seems to have a positive effect on the bird.
