Video Shows Cockatiel Singing “September” By Earth, Wind & Fire With Endless Enthusiasm

“Do you remember…the 21st night of September?” is more than a lyric—it’s also the anthem of a very spirited bird. A video of a cockatiel singing September has gone viral, and fans can’t stop laughing at the tiny star’s performance.

According to Upworthy, the bird, named Kiki, doesn’t just whistle the tune—he performs it with gusto. His owner says Kiki sings and dances to the Earth, Wind & Fire classic several times a day. Even when no one is watching, he belts out the melody and bobs his head along, showing that the music is truly for him, not just the crowd.

Why Cockatiels Connect With “September”

Kiki might be the most famous, but he’s not the only cockatiel singing “September.” Owners across the internet have shared clips of their pets whistling the same upbeat tune. Some even joke that the disco hit is practically the official theme song of cockatiels.

Experts believe the reason lies in the bird’s natural playfulness. Cockatiels often mimic whistles and short tunes. “September” has a bright, repetitive rhythm that’s easy for them to learn. Many owners say their birds pick it up almost instantly. Some even note that the melody seems to calm their cockatiels during stressful times, making it more than just a party trick.

A Feathered Star Goes Viral

Kiki’s videos highlight the joy of a cockatiel singing September over and over again. He whistles the opening notes with near-perfect timing, sometimes adding his own flair with head bobs and wing flutters. The clips have spread across TikTok, Reddit, and Instagram, turning him into a feathered celebrity.

His owner admits that hearing the same tune at dawn can be tiring, but fans online can’t get enough. With each performance, Kiki proves that his love for “September” is endless. Just like the disco classic, his enthusiasm never seems to fade—and that may be why people keep coming back for more.
