The trend comes from the TikTok creator @kennyslowbird, who makes AI animal clips. On 20 October 2026 he posted a few parrots dancing on a beach at sunset, "Parrots dancing to the big summer hit 'Jamaican'". The next day he posted the clip that took off: a barn full of green parrots in little white diapers, dancing together while one parrot leads the flock up close to the camera. By 28 October it had 7.6 million views, 561,000 likes and 264,600 shares, and the comments asked one thing again and again: why are the parrots wearing diapers? The song is "Jamaican (Bam Bam)" by Hugel and Solto, released in November 2025 as a new take on Sister Nancy's 1982 reggae classic "Bam Bam". On TikTok the clip uses an "original sound" by MCBARUTI that more than 17,000 videos use. The creator then made the same dance with baby raccoons (22 October, 645,600 views) and posted the barn parrots again as a **parrot dance class**: "Would you go to a dance class like this?" (26 October, 760,900 views). Most of the comments under the parrot clips are in Spanish. ### Parrot Dance trend timeline - **2025-11-07**: Hugel and Solto release "Jamaican (Bam Bam)", a new take on Sister Nancy's 1982 song "Bam Bam".

No editing app, no watermark. ### The one-tap way (no prompt to write) 1. **Add your photo.** Press "Make yours" and add your pet, whole body. Take it with the camera or pick it from your library. Start here: https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/parrot-dance-ai-trend/create 2. **Press Generate.** The button shows the price. Seedance 2.5 puts your photos into the Parrot Dance trend clip and copies it shot by shot for 15 seconds, with the reel's original song. You write no prompt. 3. **Download or share.** The video is ready in up to several minutes as a 9:16 MP4. Download it, share it from your phone, or find it later in My videos. ### The by-hand way, with the exact prompts The one-tap flow runs this prompt for you. The video prompt animates your own photo directly. To change it, copy it and edit it in AI Video. #### Variant: Pet Settings: 1 photo (your pet, whole body) · Seedance 2.5 · 15 s · 720p · 9:16 · no sound · 228 credits in one tap. 1. The video prompt is filled in. Settings: Seedance 2.5, 15 s, 720p, 9:16, sound off. The video prompt: ```text Recreate the reference video [Video 1] shot for shot: the same rustic barn with the woven wooden ceiling, the green vines and the small lights, the same plank floor, the same crowd of green parrots in small white diapers dancing in rows behind, the same single floor-level camera, framing, timing and dance moves. The ONLY change: the parrot in front that dances closest to the camera, the lead dancer of the flock, is now the pet in [Image 1]. The lead dancer = the pet in [Image 1], whole body, in EVERY frame: the same species and breed, head shape, face, eyes, ears, muzzle or beak, fur or feather colors, fur length and markings as in [Image 1], with the natural body volume and proportions of that animal: never flattened, squashed, stretched or merged with anything, so its owner instantly recognizes it, also when it comes close to the lens and when it turns its back. It stands upright on its hind legs like a dancer and wears the same small white diaper as the flock. Never drift back to the parrot of the original video: no green feathers, no yellow crown, no red wing patches and no beak unless [Image 1] shows a bird. If [Image 1] shows a bird, it keeps its own feather colors and markings. If [Image 1] shows a dog, a cat or another animal, that animal dances in the same place with the same moves and uses its front legs where the parrot spreads its wings. The dance, matching the reference second by second, on the beat: 0-3 s: the lead stands in front of the flock, faces the camera and bounces on the beat, wings or front legs flicking open. 3-5 s: it steps right up to the lens with the wings or front legs thrown wide and high. 5-10 s: it turns its back to the camera, spreads the wings or front legs and shakes its tail and diaper on the beat. 10-12.5 s: it drops low and shuffles to the side while the flock of parrots fills the frame, all dancing in sync. 12.5-15 s: it comes back to the front, faces the camera and bounces with the wings or front legs half open. The flock behind stays exactly as in the video: many green parrots in white diapers dancing in sync. Only the lead dancer changes, and the pet appears only once. Anatomy rules: one head only, on the lead dancer's own body. No human hands, no extra legs, wings or tails. Natural balance and stable ground contact. No people, no text, no logos, no watermark. ``` 2. Press Generate, then download the 9:16 MP4. One-tap version of this variant: https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/parrot-dance-ai-trend/create?variant=pet #### Variant: Human Settings: 1 photo (you, head to toes) · Seedance 2.5 · 15 s · 720p · 9:16 · no sound · 228 credits in one tap. 1. The video prompt is filled in. Settings: Seedance 2.5, 15 s, 720p, 9:16, sound off. The video prompt: ```text Recreate the reference video [Video 1] shot for shot: the same rustic barn with the woven wooden ceiling, the green vines and the small lights, the same plank floor, the same crowd of green parrots in small white diapers dancing in rows behind, the same single low camera near the floor, the same timing and dance moves. The ONLY change: the parrot in front that dances closest to the camera, the lead dancer of the flock, is now the person in [Image 1], a real human: the teacher of the parrot dance class. The lead dancer = the person in [Image 1], in EVERY frame: copy the exact face from [Image 1] (the face shape, eye color and eye shape, eyebrows, nose, mouth, skin tone, age, hair color, hair length and hairstyle, and any beard, moustache, glasses or freckles), so their friends recognize them at once, also when they come close to the lens and after they turn their back. They wear the clothes and shoes from [Image 1]; if [Image 1] shows only the head or the upper body, invent the rest so it matches naturally. No diaper on the person. A real adult at full adult height, with an adult's build and proportions: the parrots reach only to about their knees, and the low camera tilts up, so the person shows from head to feet when they stand back and from the waist up when they come close. Never child-sized, never shrunk to the size of the parrots. A HUMAN head and body: no feathers, no beak, no wings, no tail and no green or yellow face. The same real person in every frame: never morph, never drift back to the parrot of the original video. If [Image 1] shows an animal, the lead dancer is that animal standing upright on its hind legs in a small white diaper, with its own face, fur or feathers and markings, not a person. The dance, matching the reference second by second, on the beat: 0-3 s: the lead stands in front of the flock, faces the camera and bounces on the beat, the arms flicking open like wings. 3-5 s: they step right up to the lens with the arms thrown wide and high. 5-10 s: they turn their back to the camera, spread the arms like wings and shake their hips on the beat. 10-12.5 s: they drop low into a squat and shuffle to the side while the flock of parrots fills the frame, all dancing in sync. 12.5-15 s: they come back to the front, face the camera and bounce with the arms half open. The flock behind stays exactly as in the video: many green parrots in white diapers dancing in sync around and behind the person. Only the lead dancer changes, and the person appears only once. Anatomy rules: one head only, on the person's own shoulders. Two arms and two hands with five fingers each, no wings on the person, no extra arms or legs. Natural balance and stable ground contact. Exactly one person, no other people, no text, no logos, no watermark. ``` 2. Press Generate, then download the 9:16 MP4. One-tap version of this variant: https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/parrot-dance-ai-trend/create?variant=human ### Which photo works best? Upload **one photo of your pet**. - **Whole body if you can:** the video shows the lead dancer from head to feet, so a photo where the head, body and legs are in view works best. - One animal only, eyes open, sharp and in daylight. The fur or feather colors, the ears and the markings come from your photo. - Dogs, cats, rabbits and birds all work. A parrot or another bird keeps its own feathers; a dog or a cat dances upright and uses its front legs where the parrot spreads its wings. - Any background works: the barn, the dancing flock and the camera come from the reel. - The little white diaper comes from the reel too: your pet wears one like the rest of the class. ## How many credits does it cost? You pay per video in credits, and the create page shows the exact price on the Generate button before you spend anything. The one-tap price covers the scene photo and the video, charged once. The cheaper models are there if you run the prompts by hand in AI Video. | Video model | Settings | Credits | | --- | --- | --- | | Seedance 2.5 (this template) | 15 s, 720p, copies the trend clip, one tap | 228 | Credits come with a plan; see [pricing](https://www.makeviral.ai/pricing). A failed video gives its credits back. ## What happens in the parrot dance video, second by second? The Pet version copies @kennyslowbird's viral AI reel shot for shot, and your pet replaces the lead parrot, the one that dances closest to the camera. The barn, the flock of parrots in diapers and the moves come from the reel. It is one continuous shot from floor level: | Time | What happens | |---|---| | 0 to 3 s | Your pet stands in front of the class, faces the camera and bounces on the beat. | | 3 to 5 s | It steps right up to the lens with its wings, or front legs, thrown wide. | | 5 to 10 s | It turns its back to the camera and shakes its tail and its diaper on the beat. | | 10 to 12.5 s | It shuffles to the side, and the whole flock of parrots fills the frame, dancing in sync. | | 12.5 to 15 s | It comes back to the front and bounces at the camera again. | **How it works:** top-quality AI video models, including Seedance 2.5, edit the reel itself: they swap the lead parrot for the pet in your photo and keep everything else. You get 15 seconds, vertical 9:16 at 720p, and the Jamaican Bam Bam song from the reel goes back on after the run, so it is ready to post. A run takes 5 to 15 minutes, and the exact price shows on the Generate button before you spend anything. Every run is a new take, so results differ. ## Is there a Human version, and what about the parrot dance class? The trend is all animals: AI parrots, then baby raccoons, then fish, every time to the same song. So this template puts your own animal in the lead. The 26 October "dance class" post is the same barn clip of dancing parrots with a new caption, "Would you go to a dance class like this?", so the parrot dance class and the barn reel make the same video here. **Human version:** you take the lead parrot's place as the teacher of the class. You dance in front of the flock at your full height, in your own clothes, while the parrots in diapers dance around your knees: the same barn, moves, camera and song. Add one photo of you, head to toes. **Caption ideas:** "Would you go to a dance class like this?", "My dog when the Bam Bam song comes on", "The class has a new teacher", "POV: you joined the parrot dance class". Or write your own.

The prompt bans its feathers and beak unless your photo shows a bird. Use a sharp photo where the face and fur are clear, then run it again. | | Your pet shows up twice in the crowd | The flock is meant to stay parrots. Run it again for a new take. | | The legs or paws look odd when it spreads its "wings" | A dog or a cat uses its front legs for the wing moves. A whole-body photo helps. Run it again. | | The face is hard to see when it turns its back | The lead parrot turns away from the camera for a few seconds in the reel, so your pet does too. That is part of the dance. | | The model refuses a photo | Some photos get refused. The credits come back; try another photo. | ## Which sound, caption and hashtags should you post it with? Your clip comes with the reel's own sound, the same 15 seconds of the Jamaican Bam Bam song, so it is ready to post. You can turn it off on the result screen. The song belongs to its owners, and MakeViral gives you no rights to it. On TikTok you can also add the trending sound yourself in the app. The Jamaican Bam Bam dance is a people dance challenge on TikTok too (#bambamdancechallenge, 1,843 videos), but the parrot version is the one that went viral with animals. **Hashtags (TikTok, 28 October 2026):** #dancingparrot (7,732 videos, 247.8 million views), #parrotdance (3,214 videos, 68.9 million views) and #jamaicanbambam (1,556 videos, 50.2 million views). Keep the platform's AI label on: the clip is AI-made. ## Parrot Dance trend questions ### What is the parrot dance trend? It is the parrot dance meme: a viral AI clip by @kennyslowbird from 21 October 2026: a barn full of green parrots in little white diapers dances in sync to "Jamaican (Bam Bam)" while the lead parrot dances right in front of the camera. It passed 7.6 million views on TikTok in a week. This template puts your pet in the lead parrot's place. ### What song are the parrots dancing to? "Jamaican (Bam Bam)" by Hugel and Solto, the Jamaican Bam Bam song from November 2025. It is a new take on Sister Nancy's 1982 reggae song "Bam Bam". On TikTok the parrot clips use an "original sound" by MCBARUTI, and the creator calls it "the big summer hit 'Jamaican'". ### Is the parrot dance video real? No. The parrots dancing in the reel are AI-made, and so is your video: your pet is put into the reel by AI from one still photo. Real parrots do bob to music, but not in a dance class in diapers. ### Why are the parrots wearing diapers? It is the joke of the clip, and the question fans ask most in the comments. The AI parrots wear small white diapers, and so does your pet in the video. ### Can my dog or cat do the parrot dance? Yes. Add one photo of your dog, cat, rabbit or bird. It takes the lead dancer's spot in front of the flock, stands upright and uses its front legs for the wing moves. A bird keeps its own feathers. Use a sharp photo of one animal, whole body if you can. ### Can I do the parrot dance myself? Yes. Pick the Human version and add one sharp photo of you, head to toes. You become the teacher of the parrot dance class: you are dancing with the parrot flock in the barn, in your own clothes and with no diaper, and your Jamaican Bam Bam dance video comes with the song. The parrots stay AI parrots. ### Can I use a photo of my own bird for the bird dance AI? Yes. A parrot, a budgie, a cockatiel or any other bird works: it keeps its own feathers and colors and leads the flock of green parrots. Like the other birds dancing AI clips of the trend, your video comes with the song. ### How do I make the parrot dance AI video? Press "Create your own", add one photo of your pet and press Generate; the button shows the price first. You get a 15-second vertical clip with the song, and it waits in My videos when it is ready. You write no prompt: the parrot dancing AI recipe is ready. ### Is the parrot dance class the same trend? Yes. The "Would you go to a dance class like this?" post from 26 October is the same barn of dancing parrots, posted again with a new caption. It made the parrot dance class a name for the trend. ### Can I make other AI animals dancing, like the TikTok raccoons? Yes, with your own animal. The creator also made baby raccoons dancing to the same song, and another creator made fish. Here you add a photo of your own pet, and it leads the dancing parrots: an AI pet dance with the trend's own barn, flock and song. ### Which prompt does this template use? The creator did not share a prompt, and no tutorial or template site shows one for this clip. This template uses our tested prompt pattern for copying a reel: it recreates the parrot reel shot by shot and swaps only the lead parrot for your pet, with rules that keep your pet's face, fur and markings. ### How long is the video and what format is it? 15 seconds as an MP4, vertical 9:16 at 720p, with the song. It plays on TikTok, Reels and Shorts, and there is no watermark. ### Does it cost credits? Yes. Each video costs credits, and the create page shows the exact price on the Generate button before you spend anything. If a video fails, the credits come back. ## Other AI video templates and tools - [Alors On Danse AI: Put You and a Friend in the Studio Sketch](https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/alors-on-danse-ai-trend): One of you taps the beat on a mini keyboard next to a laptop.
