Meet Xiaogui: A Parrot Who Sets Guinness World Record In Just 33 Seconds

Viral News: When it comes to sorting shades, no one can beat Xiaogui, a parrot from China who set the Guinness World Record straight by identifying 10 colours in 33.50 seconds, the fastest time taken by a parrot.

A Record Breaking Performance

Xiaogui took on the challenge in Jiaozuo, Henan, China where he was presented with 10 tiny plastic bins laid out in a row, each matching the colour of a straw ball placed beside it. The parrot had to retrieve the balls and put them in the right bin. One by one, with the help of his skills, he carried the ball across to the correct bin and dropped it. He was nearly flawless even though he initially confused two similar shades of pink, but he quickly spotted his mistake and carried on, showing his beautiful color coordination skills.

This record-breaking display wouldn't have been possible without his owner, Qin Feng, who hand-fed him. The owner also revealed that Xiaogui had a strong interest in toys, especially colored balls, during his early days, so he began training the parrot to recognize colors and sort them accordingly, polishing his skills further till perfection.
