Watch This Cockatoo's Hilarious Reaction to Singing in Auto-Tune
Some of us have more musical inclination than others, and I guess this fact is true for birds, too. Jackson Huhniverses is a cockatoo with a natural talent for music. Like, honestly, someone get this bird a record deal! In a recent YouTube Shorts clip, Jackson's mom shares a hilarious video of the cockatoo singing in Auto-Tune for the first time, and his reaction is pure comedy gold.
"His reaction to autotune was priceless," wrote his mom in the caption of the funny YouTube Shorts video.

In the video, we see sweet Jackson standing in front of the pink microphone, ready to rock out. As a catchy beat plays, Jackson begins crooning into the microphone. He even holds the base like he's passionately singing. It's so funny. However, once the Auto-Tune kicks in, Jackson is clearly startled by the sudden change in his voice. His feathers on top of his head stand upright, and he screams, sprinting away full-speed from the microphone. A reasonable reaction, in my oh so humble opinion. I would have been startled if I were a bird, too!
However, curiosity gets the best of Jackson, and he comes back to the microphone, ready to sing some more. Go off, king!
