She's a natural soccer bird.

I'm sure we humans once had a pool table, rather than a games table for birds. .. :wink:

Sapphire spent hours rolling balls around yesterday (interspersed by breaks where she stops to eat the table). She seems to like it better than those play trees I slaved away to make for them! It doesn't give me much time to concentrate on what I'm meant to be doing, as I have to check on her constantly to ensure she's not eating anything dangerous or valuable.

I think her giant feet really give her the edge in soccer! Isn't she funny?

Incase anyone is curious, I haven't trained her to play soccer, she's copying Nila to a certain extent, but mostly just playing with toys she's taken off him.

:D
After breakfast and her morning flights around the house she was straight back in to playing with the soccer ball! I think she's teaching herself to dribble the ball with her feet. I'll have to put some David Beckham videos on for inspiration.
