The cockatoo world has another viral star, and his name is Casper. This fluffy white showman decided his mom didn’t need to go out to a concert because he could give her a private performance right in the living room. And he delivered. If you have ever doubted a bird’s ability to hold an audience’s attention, Casper is about to change your mind.
Casper, @casperthetoo, is a 21-year-old Umbrella Cockatoo with a personality as bright as his feathers. His snow-white plumage makes his name fitting, like a friendly ghost who just happens to have an amazing set of pipes. When he spotted his mom getting ready for a night out, he pulled out his secret weapon: a full-blown vocal concert that could rival any human act.

However, what is incredible is how natural it is for a cockatoo to put on a show. These birds are known for their loud calls and playful antics, and Casper plays right into that reputation.
The TikTok clip that started this whole buzz shows Casper perched confidently, crest feathers up, eyes bright. His mom can be heard laughing in the background, clearly caught off guard by his sudden burst of musical enthusiasm.
They mimic sounds, dance to music, and sometimes even create their own rhythms. If you think they are just mimicking without understanding, you haven’t met a cockatoo like Casper.
It is worth noting, though, that this level of entertainment comes with a catch. Cockatoos are not for the faint of heart or for those who like quiet evenings. Even a happy, healthy cockatoo can be loud for hours a day. They have the vocal range to fill a house and are not shy about using it. Casper’s little “concert” was probably just a warm-up by cockatoo standards.

That is part of why cockatoos go viral so easily. Their personalities come through on camera without any filter. You can’t stage this kind of charm. It just happens naturally. And when it does, the internet eats it up. Casper isn’t the first cockatoo to rack up views with a spontaneous performance, but he might be one of the most memorable.
What’s lovely about this moment is how effortlessly a pet can change our plans. She was about to leave for a concert, but Casper made staying in feel like the better choice. It’s easy to buy a ticket to a show; it’s not every day your own animal puts on one just for you.
