Some of the most unlikely friendships can become the most entertaining. Sure, the usual dog/cat combo is cool and all, but a Budgie named Paco and his cat bestie, Tessa, are taking their bond to new heights with the funny bird's epic dance performance-right on Tessa's head!

To understand how hilarious Paco is, you can see his routine here!

As Paco's unbothered, fearless queen, Tessa's willpower to not do anything about what happens on her head is hilarious. Even by Budgie standards, this is above and beyond going the extra mile for some applause. This is an unlikely friendship I can get on board with, and it's all thanks to Paco's sweet moves-it's way too cute!

When it comes to going viral for being adorable and entertaining, the funny pair's moments together have caught fire many times over. In one of the most-viewed clips, Paco made his dance debut (on Tessa, no less), and he was pretty proud of himself.

Watch as this little guy gives his all in a dance performance for the ages!

Are Budgies Social Birds?

You can tell already that Paco is a superstar who just needs a stage to go all out. Unfortunately for his cat sister, Tessa's head must be the best stage for his tiny feet! These birds seem like they're always down for a party, and that, in my book, is reason enough to love them.

Budgies are known to be outgoing, social, and affectionate birds who thrive when they get to be with their favorites (people, cats, whatever!). They like being the center of attention, getting praise, and being the most popular "person" in the room. Some of them are more vocal than others, and they do make a wonderful "first bird" for anyone looking to test the waters.

If you're lucky, you might end up with a Paco of your own who won't care one bit if the only stage available is the cat's head (sorry, Tessa)!
