But this performance takes the cake. After months of training, Cota's pet can use a tiny putter to sink putts on a miniature green, making the bird an Internet video star. The bird can also dunk a tiny basketball on a tiny court.

Next up on the bird's training agenda: Water skiing.

As the owner puts it, "I don't think there is any limit to what I can show him,".
