Sapphire learning a new trick

[InTheAir]

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.

Sapphire decided to pick up where we left off last night, since she couldn't find the ring she tried to improvise

Isn't she just the funniest little bigfoot?

I think I vacuumed up the ring last night... I couldn't find it in the bag though, but I can't find it anywhere else!
