My Pacific parrotlet, Cirrus, LOVES Apollo! And what's even cooler is that he's learning from him. Cirrus is starting to correctly choose items by material, and while we watched this video, he actually said 'metal' before Apollo did. Thank you for teaching my baby to love learning!
It still blows my mind how young he is and how much he has already learned. Such a smart little lad. Love him to death. Especially the little "ooo"s he does. And the way he asks for "'stach?🥺". Always makes my day a little brighter.
Not in a million years did I expect him to be able to express things like when he's curious about smth. He wanted to know what a flashlight is and asked "whats this", and "what colour is this".. My universe is collapsing in on itsself 😂
It's not that he is really curious about it and more that he learned the phrase "What's this" from his owner that constantly asks him what something is. He is conditioned by now to say that whenever something comes up
@@salbarskytower2546I'm thinking it's a little bit of both, because I see him saying "what's this" whenever an item comes up. Maybe he's actually learning how to express curiosity to his owner! :]
@@salbarskytower2546 He knows what the words mean. Parrots are about as smart as the average ~6 year old child. African Grey Parrots (Apollo's Species) are among the most intelligent of parrots, which have even surpassed cognitive intelligence tests made by Harvard University. In fact, they rival chimpanzees and other great apes with their ability to reason and perform cognitive tasks. You might not be able to teach the entire language to a parrot, and they may not be able to make out abstract meanings, but they definitely understand the words enough to use them to communicate with their caretakers just as apes do with sign language.
“No chewin’!” 😂 My favorite part is when Apollo is on his own riffing. Really interesting and well done with the training and stimulation! Turned me on to birds. You earn a Pistash! 👍🏼
5:41 - 6:09 the most touching monologue EVER!!!! I cried of how different my life became after those words Also loving the moment where he says "Glass"
3:26 proof that father-son shenanigans is true across species. The kind of stuff that Mom sees when she walks in and just goes "see, this is why y'all don't live as long as women."
Deep voice: 'GLASK'. We love Apollo!! So so much. It always amazes me how smart they are. The way he asks himself questions and answers then correctly haha. So so precious!! ❤
I find this bird so hilariously entertaining. What an intelligent and charismatic little fellow!! Big props to you for training him systematically and clearly taking great care of him. Much love from Maryland
@@Jesus_Christ_is_Lord_ if your thinking the same thing as they are then you are most likely wrong its the sound of Dalton slurping tea, but couldn't teach Apollo to say it, so they taught him "Suck" instead. all family friendly :D
It's so impressive and surprising that the bird is so conscious, asking questions, learning quickly, examining and noticing things, giving his opinion. Cool to watch
This is the most genuine channel for talking birds. Thank you for not adding music or crappy interpretations for clout. You have a smart good bird and you’re fabulous parents
You guys are awesome. Thanks for sharing Apollo with us millions. I’ve just come across you and I instantly fell in love with your parrot, he’s just incredible. I’m an ICU nurse in London, I have played your videos to some of our long term patients. He puts a smile on everyone’s face, proper animal therapy ❤️ I try and show a short clip every day. Keep up the good work, you are helping people in remarkable ways that you would never have anticipated when you first started. 👍🏼🤩🥰❤️🙌🏼😂🤣😂⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🤗
@@masterofdoots5965 This sounds plausible as he seems to imitate a drill at least 2 times (one of those mistaken for farting sounds) during this video.
I love how he transitioned from rock to barock, to buck buck buckaw. Making chicken noises. And he totally went for the chicken sounds too. Honestly I love any time he realizes what sound he makes and find a connection to another concept and switches over.
i love apollo as he just says random actual sentences about random things can connect them properly but he just sounds like he has tourrets and i love it
5:10 This in my opinion is a great display of Apollo’s intelligence, asking what the item was and then saying « this is color » because indeed, a flashlight is something that gives items colors
We had a grey in this family forever. I think he was in his 7th decade when I was a teen. I know the dedication it takes to get this result. I just want to both thank and congratulate both of u for a job well done. I promise there is a research project or two out there following along. It takes good personality traits to develop that in a bird. So again…. Well done.
Apollo is not only AMAZING but EXTREMELY INTELLIGENT!!!! You are the BEST PARENT EVER for this parrot!!!! You should be very proud of urself alllllll that u have taught him, GOOD JOB!!!!❤
Apollo is a very special parrot, he is naughty, cute, adorable, smart, hilarious, great pronunciation, especially he knows how to make fun with Dalton and Tori, he also very gentle and kindness to Solei and Ofilia
Apollo has become an important part of my day in just a few months time. He's an amazing bird, and wonderfully smart.. and his lifelesson that we should all relax is very much needed Edit: though I must say that i'm a little dissapointed that you didnt include his themesong "puh-ba-puh-bah bird"
Holding a ball in each foot and freaking out about it, classic Apollo. So happy I found your channel this year (thanks, imgur!). Happy New Year to Tori, Dalton, Ophelia, Soleil, Apollo, and all of us here in the comments. Here's to 2023, year of the G L A S S!
Apollo is the only bird I've seen to make a joke and then laugh at his own joke. "What's this made of?" "..Shrek."
I still think they should look if the glass didn't contain a little bit of Shrek in it
Made of Shrek, made of Shrock, made of glask, made of corKK, made of plask.
Can someone give me the time stamp for this
@@Drawble 2:55
@@NitroMemes thanks!
Omg him practicing how to say “plastic” on his own is amazing!!
and he's only three, african greys can live to be 23 on average, he'll be a walking dictionary by then!

2022: Year of the Shrock
2022 was a bad year for me in many ways, but one of the highlights was definitely being blessed by the invention of SHROCK
Next 2023 year of GLASSK
smart fella…. FART SMELLA
@@williamfatgomry152 this glass is made of metal
@@KL8T0N_SLU2HIE the glassk is made of mental
At 8:01 when you ask Apollo what he wants and he gives the tiniest, cutest little "Stash? 🥺" is so adorable it makes my heart melt!
I was looking for this comment 😅
Literally
That’s a pistachio
Apollo talks to “Scam Likely” and the operator actually thinking he’s human. Goes to show how good he is at words.
Everytime they realize something is up... cracks me up everytime.
Wdym?
What you don't realize is that's a trained Indian Ringneck parrot on the other end of the line, lol.
As a Discworld fan, "Scam Likely" sounds like a plausible name to me! :'D
Whenever I see the name scam likely I think about dungeon and daddies
6:41 "oh i got the bird! oh i'm the bird." easily the best thing i've ever seen and heard.
My Pacific parrotlet, Cirrus, LOVES Apollo! And what's even cooler is that he's learning from him. Cirrus is starting to correctly choose items by material, and while we watched this video, he actually said 'metal' before Apollo did. Thank you for teaching my baby to love learning!

The little "pistach?" at 8:00 is absolute gold. Peak comedy and comedic timing.
It still blows my mind how young he is and how much he has already learned. Such a smart little lad. Love him to death. Especially the little "ooo"s he does. And the way he asks for "'stach?🥺".
Always makes my day a little brighter.
Only a little????
Don't lie. We all live for Appollo here and so do you.
Well, he is just like a young child, they learn faster at that age.
His old is he?
I love when Apollo just answers "Shrek", "Shrock" or "Wario" whenever he feels like it.
Fair
7:30-7:35, his joke answer of Shrock and the laughing dance to show he knows, is my favourite of all 2022 moments.
2:47 The fact that he knew it was a bell from you ringing it after you were focusing on identifying what it was made of is just amazing.
Thanks to Apollo, my best bro, I have learned to relax, just as he told me.
"relax, okay? Relax, brother it's okay."
LMAOOOOO
I love that he actually _asks_ what things are and what color they are. He wants to learn! Such a precious smart boy.
Not in a million years did I expect him to be able to express things like when he's curious about smth. He wanted to know what a flashlight is and asked "whats this", and "what colour is this".. My universe is collapsing in on itsself 😂

@@ALTa-42 I think it's less curiosity and more 'stash. "New object? _What's this_ Now I can get more 'stash!"
“touch ur beak… boop!” MY HEARTTTT 🥺😭
The way he touches the bell, looks at the camera and says "glass" is just perfect
Hearing Apollo say "Relax" to me made me so happy, I've been stressed with school recently and it just so happened to make my day.
"yes, well, relax, okay? Relax, brother, it's okay."
“No chewin’!” 😂 My favorite part is when Apollo is on his own riffing. Really interesting and well done with the training and stimulation! Turned me on to birds. You earn a Pistash! 👍🏼
I agree, watching him babble and practice vocals is so enjoyable
1:42 The way he just looks dead in my eyes saying „c o r n“ 🌽
9:34 “relax brother” had me dead
Relax brother it’s ok
6:56 that call ending sound was so accurate lmao
When he randomly repeated the “hello, who is this?” And then the phone hanging up sound that he learned from answering spam calls. 😂😂😂 6:56
Hes gotta keep checking to make sure the window is still made of glass. doing a very important job
Moonlighting as a building inspector.
“What do you want?”
Apollo “pistache?” 🥺
I'm such a sucker 😂 I'd have to give him one.
5:41 - 6:09 the most touching monologue EVER!!!! I cried of how different my life became after those words
Also loving the moment where he says "Glass"
It’s hilarious when you think about it, at 4:30 the guy on the other end doesn’t realize he’s talking to a parrot. I love it. Apollo’s such a troll
I love how he said “my shirt??” Like he actually realized he doesn’t wear shirts lmao amazing
0:13 What kind of unholy things did that bird had to endure ? 🤣
Anything to earn that pistash! 😂😂😂
Makes me think of the bird who imitates an orgasm
*goes to comments*
S U C C
Mama and papa be getting wild… but tbh it’s hard to get privacy when you have a permanent 5 year old with wings
2:14 no chewing “no chewin” just got me laughing
5:47 Ah-puh-puh-puh-puh-puh-pollo!
3:26 proof that father-son shenanigans is true across species. The kind of stuff that Mom sees when she walks in and just goes "see, this is why y'all don't live as long as women."
I particularly enjoyed "hands off the corn" immediately followed by gunfire. Apollo really doesn't like others touching his corn apparently.
That massage gun bit at 3:28 😂 It looks like Apollo tried to match the vibrations of the massage gun when he couldn’t bite it the first time.
it got me laughing
Deep voice: 'GLASK'. We love Apollo!! So so much. It always amazes me how smart they are. The way he asks himself questions and answers then correctly haha. So so precious!! ❤
He's so darn clever - repeating things at the exact right situation, like the "don't chew".
i love his “glass” deadpan. he says it so matter-of-fact-ly.

We need a t-shirt that says “Apollo says relax” 😂
Yeah. He's pretty chill. 😅
4:50 this bird knows how to handle scam calls
Him self teaching himself is the craziest thing like seeing him practice on his own is just wild
It's so impressive and surprising that the bird is so conscious, asking questions, learning quickly, examining and noticing things, giving his opinion. Cool to watch
“Don’t order take out. Relax. Relax” good advice
When he said “look squirrel “ i relate to that.
I never knew I loved G L A S S so much until the prophet Apollo brought the good word.

"SUCK" *aggressive slurping sounds* 😂

According to them, Apollo lived in a dentist's office for a while and got it from there
@@masterofdoots5965 he probably got the "relax brother" from there as well, it sounds like a different voice
@@masterofdoots5965 This sounds plausible as he seems to imitate a drill at least 2 times (one of those mistaken for farting sounds) during this video.
“Relax, brother. It’s okay.” Had me DYING
think my favorite part was him saying "touch your beak" then reaching up and touching it and saying "boop". lol
3:42 Apollo playing with the theragun looks funny, especially that he tries to chew on it
6:40 he did a bop aging 😂
I don't know why, but him saying "relax brother, it's okay" really got to me :D
