Apollo the Funniest Talking Parrot 

I like how he asks himself a question, answers his own question, and then congratulates himself 😂

My African grey would always imitate perfectly the telephone ringing. So perfectly, it tricked me several times, and when it happened, he laughed with his diabolical laughter. Very intelligent.

I love how he answers his own questions then he holds his little foot out for a pistachio 😂

Omg, he said "earn a pistach", did three tasks on his own, then praised himself for it!

Apollo uses his brain more in ten minutes than I do in a day...

Intresting how he said Shrock then right after said Shrek and rock. It seems he realizes it’s the combination of those words. This whole video really shows how intelligent Apollo is.

Whenever I'm caught between a shrock and a hard place, I go watch Apollo

Ah yes, the 4 elements: Shrock, corK, glass🗿 and mETal

"If Shrock did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him." -Voltaire

I love how you have pronounced 'cork' so many times, he gets more and more aggressive in sounding out CORK now.

6:37 he says “Soleil” and then he sounds like her!!!! ❤❤❤❤so smart!!!!!!!

I love that Apollo’s word for “plastic” is “plask” 😂 It makes me laugh every time he says it lol

He was looking shocked when you taught him about Bowser, it was like his whole world had changed.

4:35 his self-booping 🤣He's too adorable.

My favorite part of these videos is when he repeats stuff like "good bird" like, it really shows how much he's loved and I think this fact goes unappreciated. Alot of other videos of parrots will show them repeating negative stuff like swear words or their owner telling them to "shut up" or something, but in all the videos I've seen on this channel, its been nothing but positivity from him. I'm glad Apollo gets to live his best life

I’m a simple man. I hear shrock. I’m happy

I love how he's role playing rewarding himself with a pistachio. 😂

I absolutely adore how he stopped talking to listen intently when you were explaining the Z sound in bowser. I really admire the amount of effort you’ve put into his education, and he’s got some of the clearest enunciation i’ve heard on a gray. oh goodness, and the way you can tell the difference between words he’s been taught and phrases he’s just picked up from hearing you say? delightful 😄

2:55 - There! Apollo did it. When birds memorize a sound - their eyes "pin." Pupil contraction/dilatation. Usually very rapidly. Whenever my mynah bird did that, I knew what was just heard was etched permanently into his brain. It's like an old hard drive ticking. :) Whenever he does that, in learning sessions - you'll know exactly what he'll start saying from here on out.

I lost it when he started booping himself on the nose 😂

My mother’s family has an African grey. It knew how to sing old McDonald. One time he was singing it with my mom and kept leaving out the word farm. So my mom corrected him and started over a few times. She went to correct him another time and he just screamed FARM right on her face. She was young and it made her cry, but she told me this story when I was a kid and I laughed so hard. It’s so cool to know animals like this is exist, much less see them. We love Apollo!!

I love it when birds sit somewhere comfortable and just chitchat away 🥰 I could listen to it for ever. Apollo practising like a good smart boy 😉

I love how he has a phone call with himself and when he doesn’t know who it is he hangs up LOL

Really impressed with how he names some things you frequently ask and then praises himself (good bird/good boy). Shows that he really knows what it means and that it's connected to him saying those things

Love hearing him just randomly chatting/acting things out, giving himself boops on the nose…and just chilling, and being a one feeted birb (what we call it when my grey rests on one foot and ticks up the other leg making it hidden). Dank birb

I love how he's having both sides of the conversation himself.

I do love his crazy ramblings 🤣 And it's a good day when you hear *G L A S S*

Lots of people marvel at Apollo's language skills, which are impressive for a parrot. But I was blown away by his asking "What?" for clarification when he didn't catch something. That's unheard-of in animals.

wow, Apollo takes practicing so seriously! 2:56 is adorable, paying full attention to a lesson. Such a diligent and funny bird.

The way he tries to say "plastic" ❤️

I love how he listens so intently when Dalton is sounding out words to him. Too cute

Look at minute 3:00 how he just freezes and listens. Such a smart boi. Please gib him pistach.❤️

finally explaining what "shrock" is.. "Shrock...Shrek...Rock..."

I love that he gives himself nose boops! so cute! ❤

Also i can hear he makes lots of Nintendo Switch noises, and MarioKart or something Character select screen. I do love how Birds enter DEMO MODE if you dont interact with them, and they start repeating everything they heard haha

From what I've observed from Apollo booping himself, he might be a right-legged birb 🐦

My girlfriend laugh when I speak like apollo. "What is this made of? Glass", "Shhhhrock" lol This is addictive!

The fact he can imitate sounds like banging is just mind blowing, he's so clever !!

This is a certified SHROCK moment.

at first he seems to be randomly repeating phrases, but I get the feeling this is him kinda processing and reinforcing his learning. especially the way he stops and listens intently when you correct him.

When he plays through an interaction where he earns a pistash, it reminds me of kids playing with dolls or writing stories. I get the impression he’s doing it because those interactions make him happy (as well as just practising/playing with sounds). I’d like to know whether Tori had just come home or if he was just enjoying saying “Tori’s home”. Oh and I love seeing him sound out plastic, he’s taken your tutelage on board, it’s more than just “I want to get this sound right”, he’s engaging with the learning technique not just blindly learning from it.

hes having a shrock day

Shrockin’ around the Christmas tree

Its amazing how they can mimic computer and phone beeps in a way a person never could!

PLS MAKE MORE OF THESE UNCUT APOLLO TALKING VIDEOS I WANNA WATCH THIS ALL DAY IN MY ROOM LITERALLY ALL DAY.

He can say Tori in Dalton's voice, now we need him to say Dalton in Tori's voice. My favorite phrase here is "watch your butt"

Amazing, adorable little guy. Innocent, intelligent, curious, funny, sweet, cute… i love him❤

When Apollo repeated Cork for the third time (with added emphasis)... I felt that.

He knows Rock, and he knows Shrek. He still says Shrock just to mess with us.

1:13 i like how he remembered siri opening sound and made it higher pitched

4:56 almost looks and sounds like he's trying to portray drinking out of a glass, holding his foot up and going "glug glug glug"

I could literally watch a 24/7 livestream of Apollo. His teachings and philosophies will be studied by future generations.

His knife sharpener imitation is ON POINT!! Keep it up, Apollo😁😁

Was he blowing kisses?! Making a kissing noise then flicking his foot out by his beak. Looked like it. I love this so much, so calming!!! 🪷 💕

Apollo is having a full on conversation with himself to then be interrupted by CORK and Shrock. something about him stopping mid conversation to yell CORK gets me.

Love when he goes into learning mode.

i was going to say that it's super sweet when apollo says "letter k-AW" and goes on training as if he's a child using a calligraphy book, but i lost it completely when he said "tori soleil" as if it was tori's middle or last name. i do really love apollo! 😂💛

His face when you said about bowser 🤣🤣

8:14 clearly he's expressing his love for the pokemon torkoal

"Hello? Who is this?" "Oh, I touch your butt" Having Apollo answer the phone for solicitors could be potentially hilarious. Or it might get you sued 🙃

He is amazing! The way he put together "Earn a pistach, touch cork, corK, corK, letter Khh." What a gifted birdie boy!

Hes perfectly imiting the knife... He could participate in horror movies sound design lol

5:11 did he just make a "call waiting" sound???

"I touch ya butt" Apollo! Where did you learn that! Lol

Well at least Apollo cannhold a conversation with himself. Whether it be demanding himself to touch cork, saying "Shrek + Rock = SHROCK," calling his sister Soliel.

I really love Apollo's antics, but I truly appreciate the owners letting us experience Apollo in bite sized portions. Apollo is wonderful in 5 minute segments. 12 hours of Apollo all day, every day is why I wouldn't have one of my own though. The idea of a CAG is wonderful, but that reality would wear me down over time. I'd like to believe I could give one a good quality of life, but the time requirements look daunting to me. I have a Senegal currently. She is quiet bird overall, but has her moments with calls. A CAG is on a whole different level of responsibility and time involvement. My Senegal will quietly just sit on my shoulder for hours. I think a CAG would be Apollo mode 12 hours a day. I suppose every bird is different so my mileage would vary I guess. I do work from home in my office. That at least is a great positive for a parrot.

ahh that's so good how he rewarded himself for saying shrock

What's this? ShROcK! Good bird!

Omg 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️I love Apollo so much!❤️❤️❤️He tries so hard. He loves Good Job Good Bird

He’s a comedian, so funny 😂 he’s also extremely smart!! What a bird!!

When Dalton says „stinky” Apollo looks like „wait, hold on, - wtf are you talking about, i’m ok” 😂

2:12 He called himself then answered himself 😭😭😭

Love how he looks at you when you talk about bowzer lol

Dude is absolutely VIBIN at 9:04

him making caique sounds and saying soleil... so true

It's so cute how he plays your games by himself. You can tell he really loves you guys.

Apollo is a one human bird he can express his self he is one in a million he always makes me smile I like it when he says touch then hits the wall with his peak I adore him so much he is one of a million he is a big smarty boy

Really interesting how he breaks "Bowser" into "Bows" and "Rawr" and hasn't perfectly combined them (as of this video)

i love how he talks to himself! it almost seems like he's fondly remembering earning snacks and playing games, just like, out loud lol we're so lucky we get to know creatures like this :)

1:13 dang that notification was perfect

6:04 These sounds are so realistic...

must feel so good to hear appolo say :''TORI'' cute babyy

I love it when he starts aggressively saying cork. It's amazing. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I love hearing Apollo attempt to say Bowser. Maybe because I just love Bowser with a burning passion.

He’s having the time of his life up there, and I’d be laughing myself to death 😅

I just love that little "oh" thing he does 😂🫶🏾

He is so cute doing the boop thing with his own foot.

7:58 That water drop sound XD (it's funny for me no matter if a real water drop, Apollo or myself causes it)

Love the random, sneaky farts he mixes in.

I love how he boops himself. Shrock is now apart of my normal vocabulary lol

Playing this while I’m writing fanfiction to give myself the true bird experience of ambient noise constantly

I stim vocally like this. Babbling to ourselves solidarity.

He even acts his answers like he's actually touching materials and all 😂

He is definitely by far my favorite African gray

your brain after touching purple one time in college

4:30 cuteness overload

2:49 he understands that those are names and putting them in the same category

1:27 and the next 7 seconds made me laugh so hard my stomach hurt. THE SOUND HE MADE-

i love this little guy, he makes me so happy

He knows how to play games by himself. He does his homework very well.
