Fastest time to identify 10 colours by a parrot

The fastest time to identify 10 colours by a parrot is 33.50 seconds and was achieved by Xiaogui (China) in Jiaozuo, Henan, China on 24 November 2024.

Qin Feng met his parrot Xiaogui in 2020 when it was just a baby and still needed to be hand-fed several times a day. Over time, their bond grew, and Qin began to notice Xiaogui's strong interest in certain toys—especially colored balls. With gradual training, the parrot learned to correctly sort objects by color. Today, it can accurately identify and match 10 different colors, making this an incredibly impressive and rare achievement for a bird.
