Ok Remember the shell con that street cons will play? They put a ball under a shell and pretty much take your money as they scramble the shells with the ball under it and you never guessing the right shell?



I taught Paulie how to play it using bathroom dixie cups. He caught on so fast and had such fun. He gets it right every single time, no matter how fast I mix up the cups. He is never wrong. Ok what was funny, when I was mixing them as fast as I could he got a bit peeved and tried to slow me down by blocking the movements so he could stay focused on the correct cup. I didn't let him deter me and he was not phased by my fast and slick hands... as I said he gets it right every time.

I went to see a show and the macaw correctly found it every time- even when the guy used so many cups I didn't even bother counting, much less keeping track. laugh.gif
