"In the hierarchy of the major poetic substances, cardboard figures as a disgraced material, lost between the thinness of paper and the thick hardness of rock." - Apollo
I have been watching for Apollo, but have fallen in love with Soleil and Ophelia in the process. They are too adorable. Love seeing their relationship with Apollo grow lately.
He was dropping the walnut because that's what birds do when they open things that are difficult to open (crows and seagulls will drop clama, predator birds will drop turtles 😶). He exhibited a great deal of intelligence by figuring it himself. Also, the first time we gave our bird squash seeds, he didn't want it. I had to peel the shell apart and then he realized it was a seed. I'm not sure why birds don't understand that it's a seed. Maybe because it's not a seed they typically would eat in the wild.
I also really love how the two of you are so in synch when it comes to parenting the parrots, it's very clear that both of you are engaged in teaching them words and behaviours
Thank you for introducing me to this brand. I often have a hard time finding organic, not roasted, unsalted seeds and nuts for my grey. Now I know where to get both sunflower seeds and pistachios for him!
@@pretty-eyes perhaps, in the wild, that's part of their role; dropping pieces of food so that animals on the ground can also snag some, strengthening the ecosystem
I admit my first thought was "Apollo isnt a macaw, does he even have the beak for those walnuts?" but sure enough _crack_ _crack_ _crack_ and he was in like a hollywood mainframe hacker in no time at all.
I love how he was visibly perplexed by how can something this hard in texture can be paper, he had no interest in nuts and just kept scanning the box, trying to understand the logic behind this. Amazing
Lucifer Faust, Crows living close to a high way, learned to crack walnuts by throwing them all on the street and waiting for cars to pass over them. Totally true story. If your bird was hungry enough, he will figure it out.
And if you like Cashews, they probay will too. My cousin used to have a Budgie. He would eat whatever my cousin was. One day my aunt suggested a test to see if the bird would eat snow with my cousin. He got a bowl of snow and started eating it with a spoon. Nothing. So he started eating it fast and making sounds like it was yummy. The bird came. Over and ate snow.
one time a conure at petsmart took my fingernail in their beak while i was scratching its head. struck the fear of god into my heart. they make such a mess its hard to imagine they're actually eating anything!
We used to feed nuts to a large Maccaw in the local pet store. After a year of feeding the bird, along with other customers, the bird clamped down on my son's finger. It was a nasty bite that went down to bone, and needed a lot of medical care. Our own Red Conure was cuddly and never nipped at us.
Sooo adorable to watch! Apollo likes his puzzle I guess. It's so funny because I hate walnuts and adore cashews. My bird used to try to say peanut butter when I gave him a little, but his little voice was very muffled haha.
birds throw thier hard nuts on the ground and roads to break them or have a car run over the nut. That is what Apollo was doing when he kept throwing the walnut on the ground.
The fact that Apollo is working and earning those nuts with TH-cam ad revenue 😂 my parrot hated a lot of nutes and seeds... he preferred freshly cooked rice and fried eggs over most of nuts 😭
Apollo is way too smart. One say, he will figure out that he does all the work and earns pistachios, while they earn thousands of dollars, and he will.start charging them rent.
Its so cool that he won't try to get the walnut from Soleil even after he ran out. For sure, if he really wanted to, she would not have been able to take it from him, but he won't her. I also think hw knows she can't open it.

"So you're telling me you ordered a big box of nuts and you didn't even THINK of getting PISTACHIOS? You have failed me human."
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My thoughts exactly
Pistachios aren't strictly nuts
We must get pistachios in every order ( but then we have more than just Apollo to please 😎)
they probably have them in stock so didn't order them
Solei is smart letting Apollo do the hard work of cracking the walnut open then going in for the nut😂😂😂

Reminds me of Florida. Fun to visit but wouldn't want to live there.
@@101perspectivethey live there 😂 (I'm 90% sure)
😂metoo👍
I never thought I would hear the words " give my man a wallnut." ,Priceless.

Very sweet how well Apollo and the 2 caiques play together. Apollo being very gentle with them is super noticeable. ❤️
Couldn’t agree more.
I also really love how the two of you are so in synch when it comes to parenting the parrots, it's very clear that both of you are engaged in teaching them words and behaviours
Smart Apollo eating the walnut out over the edge so no one can snatch it from him. 🤣👍🏻
Could it be he simply got used to having the mess fall to the floor?
Keeps their roost clean, and the mess that could attract predators and competition at the foot of the tree.

👍 I' m quite sure- it was on purpose😂.
But, so what, you are right!
Love watching/listening to the girls run.
I would love a before and after weigh in of their food to know how much they actually eat. It seems most of it doesn't actually get in their mouths.
I think that’s where the phrase “eating like a bird” comes from. 😄
Yes they waste a lot What falls down isn.t eaten

What a perfect assortment of birds and nuts. Imagine having a pet store that sells just birds and nuts called Birds and Nuts.

Love this comment and this idea! 😄
Yummy walnuts. Good job figuring out how to open them.
It's interesting that they're all right foot dominant. They all hold the food with their right foot while eating.
Their feet become hands when necessary. Amazing creatures!
I admit my first thought was "Apollo isnt a macaw, does he even have the beak for those walnuts?" but sure enough _crack_ _crack_ _crack_ and he was in like a hollywood mainframe hacker in no time at all.
Maybe African greys are just the African version of macaws. Different look, same ecological niche.
Apollo likes walnuts, and so do the girls! That's great! ❤ 😍
So nice to see the birds free to be themselves ❤
Hahahaha!!! Cute Soleil is a fierce, fearless baby bird!!! 😂❤
They are all so dang cute! I just love them all.
Same
So adorable!!! Apollo look at you and the girls getting a goody box ❣️🥰
I cannot believe how strong their beaks are!! 😳
"Give my man a walnut" 🤣
I was at Costco yesterday, saw huge bags of Pistachios and thought of Apollo
I am eating pistaches now because of Apollo.
I love how he was visibly perplexed by how can something this hard in texture can be paper, he had no interest in nuts and just kept scanning the box, trying to understand the logic behind this. Amazing
Lovely video really great watching them. Can't belive how much they waste while eating each nut
Absolutely love watching you guys and the birds. Out of Denver watching the Broncos game and they suck. Having more fun watching you all! 😁❤
“No. No regurgitate” 😂
They are such inefficient eaters. Half the nut ends up as crumbles on the table :D.
Walnut shells are very hard! I’m surprised Apollo was able to open it up! he’s a very smart little guy.
Me too! I've thought about offering them to my Grey but I'm pretty sure he'd get frustrated immediately and toss it on the floor lol
Parrot beaks are designed for this kind of stuff. They’re strong.
It helps having a can opener for a nose, I guess.
@@fabrizioart1928 I guess lol 🤣
Lucifer Faust,
Crows living close to a high way, learned to crack walnuts by throwing them all on the street and waiting for cars to pass over them. Totally true story. If your bird was hungry enough, he will figure it out.
What you two are doing is absolutely wonderful and so very commendable! Thanks very much for pushing forward our knowledge of these species!
Messy eaters, but so cute!
And if you like Cashews, they probay will too. My cousin used to have a Budgie. He would eat whatever my cousin was.
One day my aunt suggested a test to see if the bird would eat snow with my cousin. He got a bowl of snow and started eating it with a spoon.

@@dianeadams5598 ouch, that must’ve hurt, hope your son is ok
I find it funny and cute when Ophelia goes running taptaptap 5:50
What a messy family, I love it!

They make a mess so fast lol
What a sweet trio ♥️♥️♥️
7:00 It's Ed Edd'n Eddy's theme!!
It'd be cute seeing them whisper that someday
Yes! I'm glad someone caught that lol 😆
Thanks!
Soleil over here stealing the show, meanwhile Ophelia is just like " nah fam, I'm out."
They’re all so cute 🥰🥰🥰
It's a bag-o-nuts bonanza! 🥜🌰🦜
Lovely family of birds! Very relaxing to watch.Thank you for sharing!
will somebody PLEASE get this man a walnut
he's like dude you guys really gunna make me crack this big ass thing 🤣🤣
I have seen crows and ravens drop walnuts on the pavement while in midair to easly crack the shells.
birds throw thier hard nuts on the ground and roads to break them or have a car run over the nut. That is what Apollo was doing when he kept throwing the walnut on the ground.
he was too distracted trying to figure out what that box was made of😂
great fun was had 🥰
Endless laughter. This was so good
no smoochin’.
Your shorts are excellent and your content is amazing 🤩 you will be a soon greatest great 👍 success love you 🥰 love 💕 two
*He's whistling the theme to "Ed, Edd, & Eddy".* 😂
You inspired me and I am just waiting for a baby boy CAG and reading everything Grey. Thank you
The crows doped walunts from high in the air.. and than they can eat easley..;))So much fun
The fact that Apollo is working and earning those nuts with TH-cam ad revenue 😂 my parrot hated a lot of nutes and seeds... he preferred freshly cooked rice and fried eggs over most of nuts 😭
Apollo is way too smart. One say, he will figure out that he does all the work and earns pistachios, while they earn thousands of dollars, and he will.start charging them rent.
They chilled tf out after eating those nuts. Like me after a good doink
What a powerful beak to open a walnut! 😮
Dear Apollo and Frens,
just out of curiousity, why do you discourage regurgitating between the birds?
I think it makes the birds crazy and hormonal.
I think that's how they court a mate, and if that happens Apollo will become crazy hormonal and freak out
Ah, I see, thank you for the info :) Birds are fascinating, and I want to learn more about them
Happy birds....😊 Their ship(ment) has come in
wonderful birbs you have there, keeps the vids coming when you can! 😊
the fact that 90% of the nut is falling out of their peek is driving me nuts
Me too!
Its so cool that he won't try to get the walnut from Soleil even after he ran out. For sure, if he really wanted to, she would not have been able to take it from him, but he won't her. I also think hw knows she can't open it.
Adorable
Happy times with the nuts!
how do you tell the caiques apart
Soleil definitely seems to be the man in the hose there 😂
Apollo.,,, I want a Gray friend.!
Wow...I think the grey bird dropped the walnut for breaking. What a smart bird!
Have you taught him the difference between paper and cardboard?
It almost seems like they barely get any in their mouth, and most of it just ends up on the floor lol
Love you Apollo ❤
Parrotworld is a mass of debris, pretty much all the time.
7:00 the birds love Ed Edd n Eddy I see lmao
3:37 apollo looks at him like: forreal bro?
He's making me want a Walnut
After all that eating, next will be “pour water”!
Apollo: Do I look like a Macaw to you? Crack one of these walnuts for me!
So nice to see❤
I wonder what the tune was that was being whistled just after the seven minute mark. Almost sounds like the ed edd n eddie opening tune.
Apollo, good boy, eat the whole walnut
Oh my goodness, Soleil thinks she's Apollo's girlfriend :'D Aw
I wonder how they can tell the difference between Solei and Ophelia
Opposable thumbs would come in handy here!
A whole box of nuts?! Thats nuts!
6:56 Isnt that the Ed,Edd n' Eddy theme?
“Give my man a walnut.”
What kind of nuts do the caiques eat ?
Are the Pistachios salted or unsalted?
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Walnut hard to broke 😅
Does Apollo not know the crow technique for opening walnuts?
Walnuts are challenging even for humans.
I have an idea for content...Apollo reacts to Gumi - Chan!
Apollo flinging items that displease him!
They were probably happy to get some nuts that they didn't have to earn.
do you think he was dropping the walnut intentionally to get it to crack?
