Sapphire learning a new trick
Posted: Mon Feb 03, 2014 3:21 pm
We were working on a trick last night, it's far from reliable, but ooooh soooo cute!
She's got the shortest attention span, it cracks me up. In 6 minutes of training she had taken the ring to the perch twice to put it in the container, tripped over the ring about 5 times, detoured to the tree, come straight back, checked out a chair and still kind of learnt her trick!
I cut the video, I figured Dave and I are probably the only people who find all 6 minutes really funny and cute.

Interestingly, when Nila learnt this trick he practised it by himself until he had worked out a reliable method. He wouldn't even stop for a sunflower seed until he was satisfied with his technique.
