The challenge demanded sharp focus, as Xiaogui was required to match each ball with its correct color box. At one point, he mistakenly placed a dark pink ball into a light pink box but quickly corrected himself, showcasing his strong memory and awareness. Judges praised the parrot’s intelligence and adaptability.

According to Feng, Xiaogui’s training started as a game. The bird loved playing with colorful objects, which inspired Feng to gradually introduce structured tasks. What began as playtime evolved into a display of remarkable intelligence.
