Apollo is right. Those black grains of rice do look like bugs 😬
they also look like mice's poops😂😂😂
I was going to say that!
@@cristinap.morais6878- Exactly what I thought!
what even is that rice
@@abarette_ Black rice. High in protein.
I think of this bird every time I eat a pistash
But did you earn it?
Gotta answer four questions
You’ll get your pistash when you tell us…
*Whats it made of*
@@Jonathan-Shadowrock?
@@iodine-53 wrong….
*S H R O C K*
My daughter was wearing the manga glass shirt yesterday and I couldn’t believe how many people were like It’s APOLLO!!
*G L A S S K*
Hat
GlassK
* H A T*
"I know exactly what a B L O C K is, but I've never seen this specific one before, so it is obviously going to attack me."
Haha
Kind of a Trojan Block. Do not trust.
Excellent illustration of his natural neophobia. He doesn't even want to LOOK at the scary new thing, he wanders away and finds something familiar he can ID instead, the glass bowl.
Solei looks like she had an existential crisis the moment the hat descended. And then her brain rebooted.
My favorite Apollo clip is the one where he says "Touch Purple" over and over again. I find myself repeating "Touch Purple" when I'm out and about.
Same!!
Ha! Yeah, us too. Also playing a video game if theres a prompt to 'pull lever', "pull lever" gets repeated in the same Apollo voice as when he says "pour water".
I find myself saying glass in Apollo's voice. And metal!
I love the one where he is offered a bug, says its a plant, "no its not a plant", leans into the camera and goes "its a bug"
Sometimes I'll say to myself, "WoOOoOoow! That's the wow."
"What's this called?"
"Rock?"
"It's made of rock"
"s h r o c k"
😆😆😆😆 died there aswell
killed me xDDD
Its funny how when you started to cohnt the rice, you started with "one" and Apollo immediately said "four". He knows the two words are associated, despite not having the order, which is cool!
When you put the "hat" on soleil she didnt move or even blink for like 6 full seconds lol
Yes, I didn't realize she was capable of sitting still that long
- What's this called?
- Like
- What's this made of?
- Love
- Wanna earn a snack?
- Four?
@UnknownMaster21Rock. S H R O C K
Goodness, it's like 3 toddlers roaming around on the kitchen counter. 😂
As someone who has owned birds, yes, very much so. Perpetual toddlers that can outlive you. Def not a pet for everyone, LOL. Much respect to Apollo's owners/trainers for their commitment and the high level of care they give to their birds.
Throw bottle + Fire =
Molotov cocktail
Made of squawk!
Typical Apollo acting like a lens cap at the beginning of the video
He's helping with the zoom focus
@@sarielgracenah he just wanna chew
When your comment is so good they make a short referencing it:
@@aaahwubadughi did not expect that
@@aaahwubadughbut then removes the referenced clip and changes the title of the said short:
I love the girls walking up like 👀 as soon as Apollo cracked open that walnut
Then Apollo tries to lie and say it's a bug
Apollo *REALLY* loves the number four 😂
My budgie could really count to four and he never made a mistake..
Every time I see anything made of glass now I immediately think "GLASS" in the deadpan way Apollo says it 😂 It's the cutest thing 🥰
Him saying hat is so stinking cute
1:01 actually caused me to laugh out loud. The way his fellow bird moves into the frame and having Apollo explain them the walnut he's holding is a bug.
Idk if you guys will even see this, but you guys should make sure that tank is somewhere it doesn't have any overhang. Hanging off the edges like that causes stress points and the tank will eventually crack!
@Max-vi7uu ~ If you address your comment directly to them, they're more apt to see it. 😊 (Had that issue myself, on another TH-cam channel.)
You're asking for trouble leaving a book about how to make slingshots open around Apollo.
I love how much Apollo gets fixated on certain words. it seems that he is currently fixated on "four" and "it's a bug", which is super cute! 😍maybe he wants 4 bugs? 🐛🐛🐛🐛
He seems to be a bit afraid of bugs, which makes him sensible! Lol
1:50 I love how he has a ''task failed to execute'' sound
"ya make the wrong sounds"
true parrot owner
☺Apollo answered correctly "bowl" , so cute . He searched for a familiar object .A pistash for it .
@Everyoneaddround257 When he was asked whatt the black stoneblock is . He turned around , saw the bowl and answered this .
1:58 Apollo knows a Borg cube when he sees one.
Resistance is futile. Your shrock will be assimilated.
@@liamchisari2191literally the best comment ever!!! 😂😂
Your shrockilogical distinctiveness will be added to our own
I think it’s amazing that he knows 4 is a number.Tori said 1… and then Apollo said 4. He’s really a very special little guy.❤
I love Apollo's thumbnails; He's reading a book about counting to number 4, lol.
Apollo doesn’t want to earn a Snack, he wants to earn FOUR 😂
Apollo dancing to "pop popop pop pop" is what makes my day without fail ❤
Loved seeing soleil and ophelia! More of them would be awesome!
I cannot with his facial expressions; His eyes are just staring into my soul, I feel violated LMAO 😭
He doesn't have the usual brown bird eyes it does look a lil unusual
Cannot what? I'm Australian and don't understand you 😂
@@angelstyro That’s fine! When I said ‘I cannot’, I kind of meant ‘I cannot handle _____’ [thing I’m talking about]; like, maybe it’s so cute or sweet or just silly that I cannot keep functioning at a normal pace because of it. I hope that cleared it up. (I’m sh!t at explaining things)
@@Duny4-ni6guThat was a good explanation of an odd expression we use
@@Justicia007 Thanks :D
I have a suggestion about teaching apollo how to count. During my psych education in uni I've been very interested in numerical cognition and in animal behavior. Humans and other animals intuitively perform subitizing - they can immediately and accurately tell the quantity of something, if the number is small enough. For humans, it is up to 4, max 5. Some birds can do it for larger quantities. This happens without any counting involved. Therefore, Apollo should already be able to distinguish quantities. However, teaching him ordinal numbers will likely prove much harder. I think that Apollo would more eagerly learn to answer the question 'How many?' after being shown 1-4 items (maybe even more), but will have trouble learning that after one comes two, then 3, then 4 and so on.
We may need a compilation of Apollo saying “metal”
I don’t think I can say the word in a non-Apollo way anymore
The thumbnail is GOLD
I'm so glad he's back online! I missed him! ❤
Never seen a parrot "shake" before
@@roachybill awesome 🦜🦜🦜
You should see Einstein the grey parrot "shake" (also YT)
1:02
"its a bug"
Apollo found a glitch in the nut
He's such a charming birb. Getting smarter and smarter every day.
Really missed Apollo and sisters! What a wonderful trio they are ! I so enjoy these videos , thank you for sharing 😊❤
The way he says "hat" is my favourite! 🥰
it's really adorable, mine is when he says "book"
Solei with the hat just made my afternoon
The fact he nods every time you ask something and you're correct is crazy
I am genuinely in love with Apollo’s voice
its a constant joy watching the amount of energy you guys put into your kids, i mean birds
I love how he keeps trying “four” because of how excited it made you the first time
You can tell Tori is a bird mom, she knows all the birds favorite sounds and how they like things. It’s perfect that her name means bird in Japanese
Can I hire Apollo as my bookkeeper? He really knows how to handle a book!
2:32 yo what the bird on the right doin😂
I LOVE how Apollo told Soleil the walnut was a bug 🐛 and ran away with it so he didn't have to share! 😂 ❤❤❤
my mom always made fun of my birds nice flat head too, said it made them dumb. But apollo has one too, and both are intelligent birbs.
I like how he mistakes the rice for bugs, just like how I do lmao
3:39 apollo took that personally
I love the way all your birds get along!
fun fact: Lots of animals can count to four but not any more. Try this experiment: Ask a friend to draw 2 to 8 dots on some paper, then show it quickly and you try to count them, you'll find it's easier with 1-4 or 1-3 dots, after that you count them by 3 or 4. Brains have a special area designed to process numbers up to 3 or 4. That's why IV exists instead of IIII.
So;ie; looks lovely in her hat!
Apollo is scared of the *BOX*
He is so smart!!!❤
I just discovered this channel and wow this is amazing! It is so cool how you teach them and how intelligent they are!!
The way he said "Shrock" wanting to say Shrek again...
Apollo!!!!! ❤❤❤
Any time any sort of insect is mentioned now, my mother says "It's a BUG"
Damn I love that bird!
0:16 "you got games on your phone? "
I really love these style of videos, thank you for sharing! Your whole channel is the best demonstration of what life is like with birds, of all the bird channels I've seen so far. You don't edit out the mess, the noise, the hours of mental stimulation and cost of destructible items. I adore birds, and too many channels make them look "easy" when they need a lot of work and love
Apollo was just "hitting the book" like any good student.
3:26 aww so cute
Ophelia and Soleil are so cute 🥹
0:55 there is NO THOUGHTS goin in that smooth brain
Apollo was scared of block 🦜🕋
😂 I love that the bird have same accent as there owner ❤ keep up the good work stay healthy ❤
Babe wake up, there's a new Apollo vid
It's nice to meet you, friend. Apollo is such an intelligent African Grey!! I was so impressed at how he knew the differences between paper, metal, and glass! You have a birdie genius on your hands!! He is so good at communicating! I love how he even shakes his head "Yes"! So impressive!! Thank you very much for sharing! Watched in full! I am going to share this awesome video! I wish you all continued success and happiness always. 💕🦜🦜🦜🌹🌺🌻
If it's not a rock but made of rock it's Shrock! 😂 He's is too cute! Smarty pants!
Man, i just lost my steam account cuz i fogot the name and im pretty sad but the second i saw apollo climbing and chewing on the camera my day is instantly 20x better
Caiques are adorable also the favorite parts are when she is like solei has a bottle ooooo solei and and she drops the bottle like oh crap am I in trouble
Soleil and her tiny hat 😭💕
I loved Soleil accepting her hat fate
"Rock?"
It is made of rock...
"Shrock??"
😂😂😂
I just fall about the way Apollo thinks about it and says ' metall ' !
"I'm famous now, I can chew on whatever I want!!"
❤Apollo is a very clever birdxx❤❤❤
Always fun to watch what's up with Apollo & other birdies 🙂 I like the way you interact with them. Good week 🧘🍵
Shrock 🤣 amazing how smart an animal can be! 💜
Hahah here in Brazil people take years to learn how to do the “th” sound, biting tongue and stuff! I’d love to see Apollo learn “Throw”
It is really hard to make that sound without any teeth.
No wonder Apollo has so much trouble
In general, English is a very difficult language to pronounce (and spell), while Spanish is very easy. I speak as someone who has studied both languages.
right!!! I took 6 years to figure it out!
Sometimes after watching Apollo videos, I automatically start talking to myself, asking myself what things are made of and what I'm doing.. and I answer myself like "pour water.. that's right! pour water!" as I pour myself some water
Those two Amazon Parrots are too cute.
I saw the black cube next to Apollo and was reminded of Harvey from Rusty Lake Cube Escape!!
Cute
I cannot believe how good Apollo looks with glasses. Propably one of the few carbon based lifeforms to which this applys.
3:32
when there's a bug in the house
Apollo is a great big brother with the walnut
He just called his parrot sister a bug lol
We think of you every time we eat pistash for snacks too Apollo! ❤
I love watching Apollo he's so cute 🥰
❤❤🎉🎉❤❤🎉🎉❤❤Soleil's expression when wearing the "hat""
Reading bedtime stories: "Daaaaad, you aren't making the sounds right!" 😂
i like when tori explains something about apollo like this is dalton's first time playing with him
Apollo requires The Very Hungry Caterpillar be ready to him like he's a good kid since he be in school most the day.
Throw Bottle. 😊 my 2nd fave. Shrock is my favorite 😊
1:25 : "what's this made out of?"
"AAÆŒœÖÖÖë"
3:28 He tried to do a bottle flip 😂
❤ the other birds are very adorable too 😍 soooo beautiful!!!
