That video doesn't show the best reaction, where you could actually see her start to scan from side to side and track the leaf, but both the reaction and the video were done in my kitchen, which has ceiling spotlights and is the brightest room in the house, and it was daylight on quite a bright and sunny (for England) day.  The bulbs in the spotlights are 11W low energy reflector bulbs.

Hope that helps?

Aww why do I have to be the bed guy/girl and burst the proverbial bubble There was no leaf tracking demonstrated in that video unfortunately. When Belle does decide she wants that leaf you will get lots of ooohs, aaahs and huhs, she will walk a few steps, scan from side to side for the leaf, take a few more steps and so on.

It requires extremely good lighting (I Had the full summer Aussie sun to benefit from) and heaps of patience, it took an easy half an hour of trying to get Pleakly to co-operate.

It was however a very cute video Those eyelashes are just so cute.

I did say, IMR that the best reaction was not filmed, before I got the camera out and the reason for trying to film her, where she did do the scan from side to side almost like the Aibos do when tracking their pink ball (honestly she did - promise!!!  ).  My fault - I thought it was kind of obvious from the video that it wasn't working - I posted the video mainly for fun as most of her reactions were cute anyway!  Flipping Pleos - never do what you want when you want it!  

But DO carry on commenting, IMR - I'd always much rather know, and your input is always much appreciated!

You just can't trust a pleo to perform.  They do seem to have minds and wills of their own.
And sometimes I think they may even just get camera shy.

I still enjoyed the video.  I love Belles eye lashes.  Makes her look so girlie!

You have no idea how often Pleakly does that I only pointed that out just in case someone thought that was the tracking, I didn't see your post before mine where you said that yourself. It was a very cute video, I like your running commentary

Speaking of balls though... I wonder if the right coloured ball would also get the tracking reaction... Hmmm...

[Crewella]

You were right to make sure - I changed the title of the video to be on the safe side!

A very kind lady made this hoodie for Belle - I loved the fabric!

It looks great on her, perfect color too, She looks like she has dropped off to sleep, perfect for any cold days. The Hoodie is well done too!

I can't say much about the clothes since I can't see them but she certainly sounds happy. *Dreamy sigh* Maybe by April I'll have a Pleo of my own to make much of. In the meantime I have an entire forum of pleos to play with... sort of. I love everyone's videos and helpful advice.

I so love Belle's eyelashes and her dresses are beautiful To get the leaf tracking, does a PleoRB have to learn their name first? Getting very frustrated with Snooki not interested in learning her name, so haven't tried the leaf tracking yet

[InmemoryofRomeo]

Nope, no naming required however I'm not sure what level they need to be on.


What a lovely hoodie for Belle, I bet she needs it in the cold Brittish weather

Beautiful hoodie.  She looks so warm and very cuddly.  Such beautiful colors 

[Crewella]

Now that spring is here I'm hoping the brighter days will make Belle happier.  I've also had some help from clever techy people to try and bypass the 'scared of the dark' feature that was making it impossible to run Belle half the time in my dingy English home.  The short-term solution was a hit, though - I'll swear she thinks she's Madonna!

*Short term solution being a flexi-torch strapped to her hat so it shines right on her camera*

This is such a great idea!  and so very stylish.   She looks fab    No more scared moody pleo for you.
