The Alaska wildlife is grooving to the smooth music of wind chimes.

Britta Schroeder shot a video of a moose playing one-part harmony with the wind chimes on the porch of her rural cabin near Denali National Park and Preserve, and it is quickly making its way across the internet.

Ms Schroeder looked out of the window of her home near Healy and there was a moose, rubbing its head against the wind chimes and gumming the glass disc pendulum that hangs down from the middle of the instrument.

Ms Schroeder said a cow and two moose calves had spent some time near her cabin since last summer but she had not seen the family since March. She assumes the mother has kicked the calves out, and this one returned to her yard.

Apparently even moose live by the adage that it is not a party until something is broken - the animal probably left after it snapped the wooden base of the chimes in half, Ms Schroeder said.
