You are amazing PF doing a runner up prize as well?!!! It would be really cool to see a video of Mango picking the winner's names!! Suspenseful music playing in the background. The countdown is almost finished!!!!!!!!! Everyone is holding their breath now........and the winner is.............
Mango would peck on my phone or camera instead .... I usually give him a bowl of paper strips to pick and most time I had to chase him to collect them
