It’s National Poultry Day<\/a>, and we can’t think of a better way to celebrate than by listening to a talented — okay, maybe not that<\/em> talented — chicken play the piano. (Since we’re all about celebrating animals here at Unleashed, we won’t celebrate the way many people around the U.S. will today — by eating<\/em> chicken. Heavens, no! In fact, we once had the pleasure of teaching a nice rooster named Jimmy Cracked Corn to flap his wings on command using positive-reinforcement training, so it’s safe to say we’re fans of the humble birds.)<\/p>\n

Beanie might be somewhat less virtuosic than other notable animal pianists like Nora the Piano Cat<\/a> and Beamin the beagle<\/a>, but we still give him an A for effort. (Yup, Beanie is a male chicken.) After all, his brain is about the size of a human fingernail, so have to give him credit for the attempt!<\/p>\n
