Default Ball into the Cup - Valo's got it!

I've been playing the "wiffle ball into the cup" game with him for a while now, and though he wasn't really all that interested in dropping that ball into the cup at the beginning, he's getting really good in it now... he sees the cup and the ball and he's all excited and he's not missing as much anymore (side note: i'm using a small waffle ball and he has to work a bit to position it right so he can actually grab it with his beak, or foot – that's becoming more popular these days as well). Of course there are treats involved in the whole thing which probably motivates him a bit... i'm just happy... i saw pogo (scot's budgie) do it and he was really good... when valo as only performing "so-so" at the beginning, i was wondering about my cutie's intelligence but i'm not anymore

That's great Bee, Valo's such a little smartie! Quito's training regime is coming along nicely as well. She's taught me that if I give her the treats right away, I won't get hurt!
