Apollo is our talking African Grey parrot, that we've had since December 2020. Follow us to see what happens when you raise a talking parrot as a human! Become a RU-vid Member or Patron to join our Discord: / apolloandfrens
Soleil so aggressive to try stealing piece of nut from Apollo, but then also, Right out of his talons, hahah! then stepping on containers so Apollo can't take nut from her! She may be smaller than the patient Apollo, but she's definitely feisty girl! Was a trip watching you discover downed big branches and the noise of them hitting something And also that Dalton said he would be out 4 wheeling in the storm, if not for the livestream, so I take that to mean it wasn't so bad the way the storm went through where you guys are!
I'd like to say in response to cockatiels being "beginner" birds: all birds. I loved and miss my cockatiel friend who passed last year. I was his human and he always wanted me nearby, even when we got him a friend. When I talked to others about my birds nearly everyone was surprised that mine had lived to be 20 years old. Birds are cute, but before anyone decides to get them please be aware that even small birds require attention and are a long-term commitment.
My tiel is about 15ish, best I can reckon! They definitely live a long time. I'm so sorry you lost your feathered friend, I'm sure they were glad to have you as their human. ❤
Apollo is smart because he knows how to open walnuts. Soleil is smart because she knows she can just stand next to him and take some without trying very hard.
ok so they have adressed this noise before and Dalton said he thinks it was the sound of something hitting an old table they had, I also seem to think apollo does it when hes upset lol
Wait what’s wrong with nesting behavior? I’m just curious. 😊 Also I never knew you had to have a filter for a cockatiel. I have owned three before (at different times) all females. Anyways never had a filter and I never noticed anything but maybe I just didn’t think to look... One of them did like to lay eggs on the bottom of her cage. I had to leave them until she lost interest. I tried to take them too early once and she freaked out so after that I left them until she stopped caring. I kinda miss having a bird they’re fun. 😊
Nesting makes them very territorial and aggressive. They can end up hurting each other. Egg laying is also a very physically demanding task for birds and sometimes the egg can get stuck on its way out, leading to it needing to be removed surgically and oftentimes killing the bird.
@@davismorgan99first lays can be especially difficult because the bird doesn't know what's happening yet. At least for the less intelligent species (I'm talking peahens here. That's a dumb bird. I know like 3 peafowl farmers and they love the. But they dumb). One friend had an indoor peahen that was acting restless and miserable for like two hours, my friend was ready to get the vet on the phone, when the peahen laid her first egg on my friend's lap 😅💀
Ventriloquist!? What the actual Schrook! Just search Einstein (the parrot) and you’ll find out that your probably not an Einstein believing that African Greys can’t speak.
Glad the girls got their own spotlight Parakeet are the easiest parrots to take care of. I have GCC ( green cheek conure are needy) and 2 parakeets ( independent and very intelligent).
i wonder if apollo can distinguish between polysemes? e.g. the two related meanings of rock (the cohesive object vs. the substance/material). when he answers "rock" correctly, is there any way of knowing he actually answered the right question?
