00:00 Hello everyone, this is Marc Steiger together with two beautiful macaws, Ruby and Julie.
00:07 Solving jigsaw puzzles is one of the most astonishing things you can do with parrots.
00:12 Let us show you two different-shaped puzzles.
00:15 First, a colored one, and after, a more complicated puzzle without any colors, but with only grey shapes.
00:24 Alright, let's start with the colored puzzle and Julie.
00:29 Alright Julie, please show us how you solve the puzzle. This is your reward, you're right.
00:37 Please Julie. Julie is a 17-year-old Catalina macaw, a hybrid macaw.
00:44 You know what a hybrid is? A hybrid runs on petrol and electric.
00:49 She goes on with a triangle. I was joking.
00:54 A hybrid animal is the result of the reproduction of two different species, in this case of two different macaws.
01:02 Remains the last one, the cross, and that was perfect Julie, very, very good.
01:09 Immediately, we go on as promised with the more complicated puzzle without any colors, but with only grey shapes.
01:18 Here I mix up the eight grey shapes, and now it's Ruby's turn.
01:26 Here is Ruby's reward. Please Ruby.
01:30 Ruby is a 20-year-old Green-winged macaw, and he will start, I hope, immediately.
01:40 He takes the square, the star. You see, important is that the bird recognizes immediately every shape.
01:49 He should not need several attempts to find the correct hole for a puzzle piece.
01:56 Very good Ruby, the last one was a triangle. I give you your reward. That was perfect.
02:03 Here also, these were Ruby and Julie. My name is Marc Steiger. Thanks a lot for your attention and your interest.
02:13 If you like this, please watch also my other videos, or even better, come to see one of my shows.
02:20 Thank you Ruby again, thank you Julie again. Thanks everyone.
