You know that feeling when a song just hits right, and you can't help but move? Turns out, it's not just humans who get it. An ostrich at Westmeister Farm recently took the internet by storm, showing off some seriously cool dance moves to gospel music.

The farm shared a video on Instagram, and it quickly blew up. In the clip, the ostrich is totally feeling the beat of the song "Only God can do it." It bobs, it sways, it looks like it's having the time of its life.
