I think of this bird every time I eat a pistash
But did you earn it?
Gotta answer four questions
You’ll get your pistash when you tell us…
*Whats it made of*
@@Jonathan-Shadowrock?
@@iodine-53 wrong….
*S H R O C K*
My daughter was wearing the manga glass shirt yesterday and I couldn’t believe how many people were like It’s APOLLO!!
*G L A S S K*
Hat

Typical Apollo acting like a lens cap at the beginning of the video
He's helping with the zoom focus
@@sarielgracenah he just wanna chew
When your comment is so good they make a short referencing it:
@@aaahwubadughi did not expect that
@@aaahwubadughbut then removes the referenced clip and changes the title of the said short:
"I know exactly what a B L O C K is, but I've never seen this specific one before, so it is obviously going to attack me."
Haha
Kind of a Trojan Block. Do not trust.
Excellent illustration of his natural neophobia. He doesn't even want to LOOK at the scary new thing, he wanders away and finds something familiar he can ID instead, the glass bowl.
"What's this called?"
"Rock?"
"It's made of rock"
"s h r o c k"
😆😆😆😆 died there aswell
killed me xDDD
Basically if you fused The Rock and Shrek together.
Apollo is right. Those black grains of rice do look like bugs 😬
they also look like mice's poops😂😂😂
I was going to say that!
@@cristinap.morais6878- Exactly what I thought!
what even is that rice
@@abarette_ Black rice. High in protein.
My favorite Apollo clip is the one where he says "Touch Purple" over and over again. I find myself repeating "Touch Purple" when I'm out and about.
Same!!
Ha! Yeah, us too. Also playing a video game if theres a prompt to 'pull lever', "pull lever" gets repeated in the same Apollo voice as when he says "pour water".
I find myself saying glass in Apollo's voice. And metal!
I love the one where he is offered a bug, says its a plant, "no its not a plant", leans into the camera and goes "its a bug"
Sometimes I'll say to myself, "WoOOoOoow! That's the wow."
Its funny how when you started to cohnt the rice, you started with "one" and Apollo immediately said "four". He knows the two words are associated, despite not having the order, which is cool!
- What's this called?
- Like
- What's this made of?
- Love
- Wanna earn a snack?
- Four?
@UnknownMaster21Rock. S H R O C K
When you put the "hat" on soleil she didnt move or even blink for like 6 full seconds lol
Yes, I didn't realize she was capable of sitting still that long
Throw bottle + Fire =
Molotov cocktail
Made of squawk!
I love the girls walking up like 👀 as soon as Apollo cracked open that walnut
Then Apollo tries to lie and say it's a bug
Him saying hat is so stinking cute
Every time I see anything made of glass now I immediately think "GLASS" in the deadpan way Apollo says it 😂 It's the cutest thing 🥰
Apollo *REALLY* loves the number four 😂
My budgie could really count to four and he never made a mistake..
1:50 I love how he has a ''task failed to execute'' sound
1:01 actually caused me to laugh out loud. The way his fellow bird moves into the frame and having Apollo explain them the walnut he's holding is a bug.
Idk if you guys will even see this, but you guys should make sure that tank is somewhere it doesn't have any overhang. Hanging off the edges like that causes stress points and the tank will eventually crack!
@Max-vi7uu ~ If you address your comment directly to them, they're more apt to see it. 😊 (Had that issue myself, on another RUclips channel.)
"ya make the wrong sounds"
true parrot owner
You're asking for trouble leaving a book about how to make slingshots open around Apollo.
1:58 Apollo knows a Borg cube when he sees one.
Resistance is futile. Your shrock will be assimilated.
@@liamchisari2191literally the best comment ever!!! 😂😂
Your shrockilogical distinctiveness will be added to our own
☺Apollo answered correctly "bowl" , so cute . He searched for a familiar object .A pistash for it .
@Everyoneaddround257 When he was asked whatt the black stoneblock is . He turned around , saw the bowl and answered this .
I love how much Apollo gets fixated on certain words. it seems that he is currently fixated on "four" and "it's a bug", which is super cute! 😍maybe he wants 4 bugs? 🐛🐛🐛🐛
He seems to be a bit afraid of bugs, which makes him sensible! Lol
I love Apollo's thumbnails; He's reading a book about counting to number 4, lol.
Apollo dancing to "pop popop pop pop" is what makes my day without fail ❤
I think it’s amazing that he knows 4 is a number.Tori said 1… and then Apollo said 4. He’s really a very special little guy.❤
Apollo doesn’t want to earn a Snack, he wants to earn FOUR 😂
Loved seeing soleil and ophelia! More of them would be awesome!
We may need a compilation of Apollo saying “metal”
I don’t think I can say the word in a non-Apollo way anymore
Never seen a parrot "shake" before
@@roachybill awesome 🦜🦜🦜
You should see Einstein the grey parrot "shake" (also YT)
The thumbnail is GOLD
I have a suggestion about teaching apollo how to count. During my psych education in uni I've been very interested in numerical cognition and in animal behavior. Humans and other animals intuitively perform subitizing - they can immediately and accurately tell the quantity of something, if the number is small enough. For humans, it is up to 4, max 5. Some birds can do it for larger quantities. This happens without any counting involved. Therefore, Apollo should already be able to distinguish quantities. However, teaching him ordinal numbers will likely prove much harder. I think that Apollo would more eagerly learn to answer the question 'How many?' after being shown 1-4 items (maybe even more), but will have trouble learning that after one comes two, then 3, then 4 and so on.
I cannot with his facial expressions; His eyes are just staring into my soul, I feel violated LMAO 😭
He doesn't have the usual brown bird eyes it does look a lil unusual
Cannot what? I'm Australian and don't understand you 😂
@@angelstyro That’s fine! When I said ‘I cannot’, I kind of meant ‘I cannot handle _____’ [thing I’m talking about]; like, maybe it’s so cute or sweet or just silly that I cannot keep functioning at a normal pace because of it. I hope that cleared it up. (I’m sh!t at explaining things)
@@Duny4-ni6guThat was a good explanation of an odd expression we use
@@Justicia007 Thanks :D
I'm so glad he's back online! I missed him! ❤
The way he says "hat" is my favourite! 🥰
it's really adorable, mine is when he says "book"
Sometimes after watching Apollo videos, I automatically start talking to myself, asking myself what things are made of and what I'm doing.. and I answer myself like "pour water.. that's right! pour water!" as I pour myself some water
3:39 apollo took that personally
He's such a charming birb. Getting smarter and smarter every day.
I loved Soleil accepting her hat fate
Solei with the hat just made my afternoon
its a constant joy watching the amount of energy you guys put into your kids, i mean birds
So;ie; looks lovely in her hat!
Really missed Apollo and sisters! What a wonderful trio they are ! I so enjoy these videos , thank you for sharing 😊❤
2:32 yo what the bird on the right doin😂
You can tell Tori is a bird mom, she knows all the birds favorite sounds and how they like things. It’s perfect that her name means bird in Japanese
I am genuinely in love with Apollo’s voice
Can I hire Apollo as my bookkeeper? He really knows how to handle a book!
"it's made of rock"
,"shock..."
The fact he nods every time you ask something and you're correct is crazy
1:25 : "what's this made out of?"
"AAÆŒœÖÖÖë"
fun fact: Lots of animals can count to four but not any more. Try this experiment: Ask a friend to draw 2 to 8 dots on some paper, then show it quickly and you try to count them, you'll find it's easier with 1-4 or 1-3 dots, after that you count them by 3 or 4. Brains have a special area designed to process numbers up to 3 or 4. That's why IV exists instead of IIII.
I love how he keeps trying “four” because of how excited it made you the first time
The way he said "Shrock" wanting to say Shrek again...
I LOVE how Apollo told Soleil the walnut was a bug 🐛 and ran away with it so he didn't have to share! 😂 ❤❤❤
Apollo is scared of the *BOX*
0:16 "you got games on your phone? "
I just fall about the way Apollo thinks about it and says ' metall ' !
Apollo!!!!! ❤❤❤
Any time any sort of insect is mentioned now, my mother says "It's a BUG"
I love the way all your birds get along!
Those two Amazon Parrots are too cute.
0:55 there is NO THOUGHTS goin in that smooth brain
❤Apollo is a very clever birdxx❤❤❤
3:26 aww so cute
Apollon is so intelligent and sweet ❤❤❤❤❤
I'll never understand animals' fascination with paper. Apollo seems to love the texture, but also every dog and cat I've ever known would rather lay down on paper than pretty much any other material. And, of course, cats love unrolling paper towels or toilet paper.
There's a video on RUclips of some zoo that put cardboard boxes in each one of their big cats' enclosures. And every single one immediately went into their new box (including the tigers who both tried to fit at the same time but couldn't).
Caiques are adorable also the favorite parts are when she is like solei has a bottle ooooo solei and and she drops the bottle like oh crap am I in trouble
Damn I love that bird!
Ophelia and Soleil are so cute 🥹
He is so smart!!!❤
"Rock?"
It is made of rock...
"Shrock??"
😂😂😂
Apollo was just "hitting the book" like any good student.
Apollo was scared of block 🦜🕋
Soleil and her tiny hat 😭💕
I just discovered this channel and wow this is amazing! It is so cool how you teach them and how intelligent they are!!
Babe wake up, there's a new Apollo vid
I really love these style of videos, thank you for sharing! Your whole channel is the best demonstration of what life is like with birds, of all the bird channels I've seen so far. You don't edit out the mess, the noise, the hours of mental stimulation and cost of destructible items. I adore birds, and too many channels make them look "easy" when they need a lot of work and love
Shrock 🤣 amazing how smart an animal can be! 💜
😂 I love that the bird have same accent as there owner ❤ keep up the good work stay healthy ❤
If it's not a rock but made of rock it's Shrock! 😂 He's is too cute! Smarty pants!
I love Apollo
I wonder what Apollo would think of having storybooks read to him?
he's so cuteeeee
Cute
Lewrning to count, eh? OK ... Four?
I cannot believe how good Apollo looks with glasses. Propably one of the few carbon based lifeforms to which this applys.
Meanwhile, the girls look on in amazement. He's a god to us. We worship him.
"I'm famous now, I can chew on whatever I want!!"
1:09 solei has a bottle
5 seconds later
*shattering sounds*
Wow, that is one smart bird. I would like to meet that bird.
Throw Bottle. 😊 my 2nd fave. Shrock is my favorite 😊
It's made of rock, SHROCK? 😂
It sounds like Apollo's growling around 1:29.
Man, i just lost my steam account cuz i fogot the name and im pretty sad but the second i saw apollo climbing and chewing on the camera my day is instantly 20x better
Apollo is a great big brother with the walnut
Apollo: FOUR?
Tori: We're gettin there.
i like when tori explains something about apollo like this is dalton's first time playing with him
I love watching Apollo he's so cute 🥰
what a sweet birds. but i ask myself why always on you tube but i do believe they love the animals😊
“Wow!! Soleil hat!!”
Soleil herself, “ …✨👸………..”
