“The mirrorball made it home,” Irwin wrote in the caption of his Instagram video, which is set to “So Easy (To Fall in Love)” by Olivia Dean. Irwin added that he “had to show my friends what I’ve been up to.”

The video starts with a shot of Irwin holding a koala, who sniffs the trophy with interest. He also shows the trophy to a cockatoo bird, who bites the gold lettering with its beak. In another clip, Irwin holds a snake next to the trophy. There is also a brief clip of the trophy next to an open crocodile mouth.

The video also features an appearance by Irwin’s older sister Bindi, who won Season 21 of Dancing with the Stars. The siblings can be seen tapping their respective Mirrorball trophies against each other and smiling. Bindi’s daughter Grace also appears to inspect the trophies.
