You’ll be happy to know that “Barrio” is an actual word so Apollo accidentally spoke Spanish, lol. I worked at a restaurant with that name so it’s how I learned what it means
I bet Apollo would pick up on playing air hockey pretty easily 😊❤ maybe you could get a small air hockey table once you get a bigger place . Sounds interesting 🤔🤗😊❤
I can’t get enough of these videos! They are so wholesome and heartwarming and I love how your house revolves around these beautiful birds. Thank you both for all of it!
I've been watching Apollo almost 2 years and i think he's learned a lot. I think everyone just wants him to sit around and just say a million different words and not take in consideration that not only is he saying words he's putting them in complete sentence and when he asks questions he really wants to do it not just constantly saying the question with no meaning such as wanna go outside or let's go outside, he is wanting to go outside if he is chewing on the wall edge he knows he's not suppose to do that and he tells himself "Apollo stop chewin or stop that no chewing . There's a bug, there's a bird outside , see the squirrels Apollo isn't just saying it because he can he's saying it to make conversation and he either sees those particular things , hears or thinks he sees them outside the window he don't just sit around saying all those things just to be saying them. I heard a question about someone asking why you weren't teaching him new words and i just thought i would mention how smart he is and that it's not just words some are complete sentences or questions that he really wants to do or knows that's what you want. Love you guys and your aminals including Mr gecko ( kiki )? in which ide really like to see occasionally , i have 5, 1 of which is 16 or 17 and doesn't act any different than the younger ones which are 5, 5, 4 and 7 but of course get him out after the predators go to bed 😁😊 Why do i say so much dang ?
Great videos and work with your birds! I raised a minhabird and he was a fast learner. I liked watching him stand on one foot as he concentrated on the new words i was teaching him. In his own he picked "whats goiing on....pause, nothing much or sameol same old from my best friend and i talking. He said rock and roll, reggae music and was learning "one good thing about music when hits you feel "no pain." one good thing covered when I rehomed him then began learning chinese. Im glad to have had time with him. Thanks for sharing
"When it's not sunny he gets big feelings". LOL. Awhh. Poor baby. I know it isn't quite the same, but maybe a sun light would be beneficial? They help me!
Yeah, Apollo seems to have translated "wanna earn a snack" as "I want to engage with the humans in some way; the exact activity is irrelevant". Of course, I also think he keeps saying "fire" because he's cold, so take this with a grain of salt.
I rather enjoy this fucking bird. He reminds me of myself as soon as I am alone, sometimes I become aware of how annoying I am but at least no one else has to deal with it.
(If Salted) boil them for about 5 min then rinse in cold, dry them by lying them on a towel and put another towel on top and serve or serve damp if they like them that way 😊❤️ just an idea ❤
Hello, my friend. I was abused in every way since early like you, my friend. I chose to overcome and heal from childhood trauma together with my husband, and I'm happy now with completely new and beautiful perspectives on love and life. I'm still a little bit sad sometimes but I'm not angry anymore. I made it through meaning that you'll make it through thus it's not going to be easy. Please consider to accept your past and heal from it on your own like us. Life is beautiful when you look at things with a correct perspective GOD has given to you, my friend. 😊
Hi, I have been watching you ever since I discovered you on a short on You Tube. First off I am sure you have been told that you have beautiful blue eyes.....Have you been doing this training for very long? or did you just decide oneday you were going to train a big bird. I have been wanting a bird for many years, and that I have gotten older I want one even more but they are so very expensive, I see what you have done with Apollo and it is amazing, anyway keep up the excellent work.
The Bathing issue 🤔 Maybe you pay to much attention to this. Out of 3 only one jumps in the other 2 just dip the head in the water. Its been like this for 7yrs 😁 You have NO place for them to hide. !!TIME OUT!! Day. Night always sleep together. Also try some square perches. They like to climb on thick rope 😁I buy Dog toy's made from rope they love them 7yrs later I still have them 😁 They also spend hours cutting thin cage wire. Blue lovebirds charming personality make the best friends 😁 life span 6 - 10yrs ? Wake Up with the birds out side even with window black outs 😁 Dried fruit Figs/Raisins they don't like anything wet. !!Cover Mirrors!!
I think you should play music for them on the radio, something Apollo can learn the lyrics to after repetition. If you say, I love you Apollo and he learns it, , will he tell you he loves you?
My mom who used to work in pet stores and used to have a 32-year-old African Grey that she had since I was 6 years old in 1991 but he(Kiefer) died last year. They can be as intelligent as a 4-year-old child, or so it's said. My mom has a replacement African Grey named Sunny she got from a rescue shelter. He was abused by his previous owner, hates men and will even bite the shit out of women. He will wearily allow me to pet him now but he's not loving like Kiefer was. I'd kiss him and hold him like a football or baby, but I doubt Sunny will ever get to that point. I already have a few scars from Sunny
Are you affectionate with him other times. Or just when he answers right? A lot of other grey will repeat words of affection that there owner use but i dont ever hear that from him or i haven't so far and watched a fair amount of your stuff. Dont get me wrong, awesome he can do this just wondering as all. Anyone correct me and direct me if needed, thanks.
does anyone have any thoughts on why parrots developed the ability to talk and mimic like they do? I mean, evolution-wise, ya know... I'm just brainstorming on how this trait benefits them other than entertaining humans.... :) but I am all for human entertainment. we need all the help we can get.
I understand that topic slide is a real issue and that repetitive questions can be annoying, but I feel like the tone the mods have towards commenters asking simple questions in the live chat is…off, to put it nicely. Instead of scolding curious viewers, perhaps a pinned comment bot that is triggered in response to a series of questions in which the answer is found in the description would be more effective and appropriate. I love your channel and only say this with good intentions!
He is having fun telling dad wrong words. He knows what they are. So cute. ❤😂
I’ve been showing Apollo to my Macaw and he runs to the phone screen to watch!!
I don't have any birds personally, but I love Apollo, Gizmo and Cosmo. They're my favorite birds.
LOL
I also love the green Bird brigade and her tiny birds.. I'm addicted to these channels
when the caiques walk on the counter, the little pitter-patter is adorbable
YESSS
I love that... bird feet in general are special... eating a pistachio with your feet is pretty cool too...
You guys are doing a great job with all three of your birds. You can tell they are happy and healthy. Keep posting they are enjoyable to watch.
I love how your house is so bird friendly….all those perches and hangers and swings and pistachios! Love to all from Austin Texas
idk why but after finding this channel a few weeks ago I find myself eating far more pistacchios and pecans than I ever have in my life.
Apollo is not a pet, he’s definitely a roommate.
I'm not sure, but I think he's also their main source of income 😂 not that there's anything wrong with that. We love this family.
@@larryfriend9298 He's the only one earning the rent! Fun.
I like the closeups of the birds. And watching them dissect a walnut and using the mini pond.
Farout!! APOLLO can crack a walnut. How clever and strong is he.
After binge watching your video's me and my boyfriend saying "what's this made of?", Shrock" and "blyackkk"
LOL Apollo is iconic...
You’ll be happy to know that “Barrio” is an actual word so Apollo accidentally spoke Spanish, lol. I worked at a restaurant with that name so it’s how I learned what it means
I bet Apollo would pick up on playing air hockey pretty easily 😊❤ maybe you could get a small air hockey table once you get a bigger place . Sounds interesting 🤔🤗😊❤
Nice camera and audio work on this video. Love your candidness.
❤❤❤❤❤I love these birds more every time I see them.
"Wanna earn a pisnack." 😂 ♡
Wanna earn a pistach is the way he says it
I have just started watching the birds and love them it's the next best thing to having one myself
I can’t get enough of these videos! They are so wholesome and heartwarming and I love how your house revolves around these beautiful birds. Thank you both for all of it!
sometimes I imagine the day they decided "let's get birds" or however that unfolded... what a day that must've been... the rest is history!
WOW, he can get into a walnut?!! Their beaks are amazing!
The african Parrot the most inteligen and nice
Intelligent + nice = Intelligentleman
Just love the thumbnail
It’s so funny 😂 he’s a good bird!!!
It looks like Apollo is like “this camera ready? are you ready to go live folks?”
Learning a recorder to play for Apollo might be easier than flute. It would be cute to see Apollo dance & sing - my Quaker dances and sings to music.

I know it isn't quite the same, but maybe a sun light would be beneficial? They help me!
I have that same Shrek toy! But he got too close to a magnet so he can't talk properly any more. He used to say "I'm an ogre!"
I like the way they’re so comfortable.
He’s so funnny😂😂😂😂 and. Cute. I love when all the birds just fly in the room!😂😂😂
"Ya wanna earn a pisnack?"
pisnack is so funny...
Yeah, Apollo seems to have translated "wanna earn a snack" as "I want to engage with the humans in some way; the exact activity is irrelevant".
Of course, I also think he keeps saying "fire" because he's cold, so take this with a grain of salt.
Maybe he needs a lil wool sweater eh
It’s so sweet how Apollo wants to please
1:02:34 Tory: "Yeah he'll make it clear when he's not interested" Apollo: "Wanna earn a snack" Tory: "What does that mean" Apollo: *A T T A C K*
Apollo is beautiful
5:47 first time I see Apollo getting wario wrong
I rather enjoy this fucking bird. He reminds me of myself as soon as I am alone, sometimes I become aware of how annoying I am but at least no one else has to deal with it.
Hi I enjoy your Bird what a sweetie keep showing him please he makes me smile 😊❤❤❤
"Alright Apollo"
"Wwwhat?"🙄😂
(If Salted) boil them for about 5 min then rinse in cold, dry them by lying them on a towel and put another towel on top and serve or serve damp if they like them that way 😊❤️ just an idea ❤
Great job on the walnut!!
Good description. So nice you both saved them
That "Bye" at the end 😭
He definitely said “good snack” after being given the pistachio around the 1:20 mark.
Yeah I noticed too
My Mercury (Grey n his Timneh friend) watches Apollo while I’m working
Cute bird
I wonder if Apollo often calls out "hat" when doing "pour water" because you are putting one object you are holding above the other.
yes! he does. this hat thing is so cool with him... he seems to do a lot with this "hat" concept..
Thrilled to learn you have a classic mammary light
He is so smart I enjoy Apollo
1:02:18 Apollo is so smart. He gets Tory's attention so the camera is on him and then flexes and finishes off saying "good"
At around .48, it sounds like one of the green girl parrots says go good poopie 😂
I love your little snack song! 😀
I feel so bad when they use the rivalry training technique but it’s a tried and true method for bird training. It’s just sad sometimes lol
I love how Apollo calls Wario Shrek and then calls Shrek Wario. He's gotta be doing that on purpose
I have the same refrigerator in my kitchen as you guys. Apollo is something else. Love when he calls you guys by name and imitates your voice.
That beak is strong to plow through a walnut.
I love Apollo makes me want to get a bird 🕊️ Appolis❤ that why I'm gonna subscribe 😂
you could play ocarina for the parrots 😂
Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed😂
Is Apollo scared of bugs😮
You are amazing

The word Snack he says so clearly
Lol so much for the red block 😂
I don't know, but I hear the girls saying "peekaboo, pee" twice right at the beginning 🤔
They're Pokémon
(Nah lol the humans play peekaboo with them sometimes)
(The sisters can also sorta say "come here" and "do poopy")
I absolutely heard one say poopie right at the beginning. 😲
True, can be heard as "wnna (g)o poopie" as well, didn't catch that.
Is Apollo scared of bugs😮 32:22 and can he say your names and his and one last question can he say words beginning with the letter L like lollypop
Do you ever tell him you love him
Is Apollo scared of bugs😮 32:22 and can he say your names and his

Does Apolo cuddle?
He has a sense of humor.
8:10 fire
That is rare one
Lol he funny

Sorry, but Apollo says it's SHROCK, so it's SHROCK. 😂
I often hear you say, "Hey, no smoochin'!" -- but what does that mean and why is it forbidden?
I think it has something to do with regurgitating but not 100% sure
@@spacehead4725 Thanks -- i did not expect it to be a euphemism!
The person above me is right. It's regurgitation they are trying to avoid.
Tory kisses him all the time
0:27 ah yes, the mastermind.
Glassk
METAL
NO SMOOOOOOOOCHIN
15:41 he sounded so cute here
QUESTION:
Do you ever kiss Apollo and The Girls?
Tory kisses them lots from what I’ve seen
Is something wrong with the FB page? It says content unavailable. I can’t imagine why I’d be blocked, If that’s the case? I love Apollo
"wooo" hahahaaaa
to be fair; Wario is kind of a ball
Are you affectionate with him other times. Or just when he answers right?

do you get a discount on his pistachios? He must go through a lot of them!
Return of the Shrek, it is
Return of the Shrek, come on

You know that I'll be back, here I am

How can you tell the difference between Ophelia (sp) and Solei??
Why does the video say it was made 2 months ago? When it actually is 4 months old.
Is Apollo a confirmed male? I had a female Grey that talked a blue streak 😂😂😂😂
And I love Apollo!! He talks the most ofRUclips greys except maybe Gizmo but not as smart.(Sorry Gizmo).I watch your videos daily.😊
Shrock
