I believe that Gouldian Finches do something similar.

I was watching a show about Jungles on the weekend and saw a short segment
about the Red Capped Manakin.

As a part of its mating/courtship display it does the moonwalk. It's the
funniest thing I have seen a bird do for a long time. Also quite incredible
behaviour.

You can see a video of it if you go to youtube (www.youtube.com) site and
type 'moonwalking bird' into the search bar.
