Hi. Great stuff. Apollo asking a question‼️ Just great 👍 😀 Thanks Apollo and owners‼️😀 BTW, if not already then I think it would be great if Apollo could say you're welcome⁉️
That actually demonstrates that some birds have a genuine understanding of words. He figured the plant had the same texture as paper so he called it paper
The leaf is tougher than book paper which is why he called it metal, then when he was told that’s incorrect Apollo bit harder to determine the plant actually is made of paper He’s very smart
Seriously! It was already impressive that he can distinguish between types of questions (what color/what’s this), but if he genuinely understands the linguistic progression of pitch changes that indicate the difference between a question and an answer, that’s mind-blowing.
As a linguist, I find it extremely interesting how words work for him. It seems like his definition of "paper" would be "what I can tear easily", since every time he checks for paper he tries to rip it. I'm wondering if he associats glass, rock and metal with the noise they make
yes most times he either bites or knocks the object to try and figure out the material, and sometimes he just knows right away without even touching it, I think it's a combination of just touch and visual association with word and how the object looks.

Plant can be paper, it can be...... hmmm... i know there r other things ive seen him confuse it with.... but Wario is totally its own thing lol. Even what hes made of is an easier distinction, cuz most of his plastic objects r brightly coloured and oddly shaped

They always have.... my grandpa had a talking parrot that used to say, "hit a Homer Mickey."
Are u new to this world?
animals have vocal cords and emulate sounds , why would our words be an exception ?
@@tyharris78 idk its just mad crazy to me
What do you mean how? 😂 We didn't "randomly" accept anything 😂
Oh my gosh, he has your voice down to a T. I love it. It’s so cute. I love your videos.
i love his inflection! like hes asking a question. Its so interesting
He’s the best. You can tell he’s psyched to learn and have new things to say. Good job, mom and dad.
R.I.P to all the plants that got beaked whilst this word was being learnt, we appreciate the sacrifice 🙏😂 So clever and cute, never gets boring to watch !! 💖
I had a raccoon break in through a screen window and eat my parrot.. It was a year ago but every time I water my plants I see her bite holes that are still in my xmas cactus and jade tree leaves. It makes me almost cry missing her every time
I just love how their voices are similar. You guys are beautiful gems!!!❤😊
"What's the plant made of ?"
*Takes a bite*
"Food"
Nice😂
I love the guessing he does with the correct inflection. Amazing!
When Apollo said “plants” I clapped. I’ll admit it. Been watching Apollo for a while and I love seeing him grow. Such a smart and handsome boy.
"Its Wario" was filled with so much emotion
Clever boy, also I'm amazed how hard you work with him
That "plants!" Was the cutest thing i heard today😭
I love the new words!!! And the way Apollo says "Plants!" Is really cute too
He uses proper inflection an conveys when he is unsure and confident. I love him❤
“it’s a bowl??” he even asks it like a question. Unbelievable how smart this little guy is. Love him so much.
A parrot rearranging the syllables of words they know to make new words is something I've never really seen before, very smart
- Plant is made of paper.
- Wario is made of plant.
- Paper is made of wario.
Edit : mOm iM fAmOu-
New rock paper scissors just dropped 🤭👍
Paper mario is actually Wario confirmed
So true😂😂😂😂😂
Sounds like a Great new game instead of rock paper scissors We now have.. plant , paper , Wario😂😂😂
He also said the plant was made of “motal.” Think he meant metal.. lol so funny 😂😂
Man how did that bird know about Warrock? Awesome game
Hell yeah! I played the hell out of War Rock when I was a teenager
War rock was the original Battlefield
Love the work you do with Apollo. Well done
"This is a boWL???" "No this is a plant" "PLANTS!" Is the best.
We need an Apollo crunching paper plants asmr. Like.. desperately.
No we dont
@@BobTheBlueprintyes we do
@@icchorist no we don't
@@rxizlyes we do
I'd like to continue the chain, but yes we do
My man’s knew Wario on the first try but not plants. I love him so so much
Priorities 😂😂
I never thought I'd say this, but this is making me want a parrot. Not just the process of teaching it human language and interacting with it, but just having it playfully troll me seems just as fun as teaching it.
Fun fact : In french, leaf and piece of paper is the same word : feuille. So he's not too far off.
Same in Germany, the word is Blatt
Same in spanish: hoja
in english a leaf is sometimes used as a measurement of paper, especially when it's bound in a book
Same in Portuguese, folha
Same in russian, листок (listok)
The fact they immediately knew what Wario was 😂😂 Made my day
PLANTS!
I absolutely love the way he says that word.
His inflection when he said "This is a bowl???"
He was really questioning! Amazing. ❤
