Like others have said it was a bluejay, but a neat fact about them is that they are mimids, which means they mimic other sounds and bird calls. So, one of the techniques they use when they want a bird feeder or other food source to themselves is that they mimic hawk calls so all the other birds will scatter.
@@ronmka8931 bro you gotta watch the video for like 2 seconds to see Apollo isn't just spurring words out randomly. Like, he says "there's a bird outside" and then starts making chirping noises
Honestly same. The love I felt for my bird before she passed is immeasurable, and I can never forget her. Something about watching the same kind of bond in a different flock does help quell the pain a little bit though. Doing us fellow bird lovers quite the service!
Condolences to everyone on this thread. 🙏🕊️ I had a series of parakeets growing up, and they each were such distinct personalities. I can't imagine losing a bird that has been your companion for the decades that larger birds live. 💔 We had the first budgie as an only bird for a long time. 🐦 She fully thought she was human. When we got our 2nd she was like, "Why does the birb have to stay in my room (cage)? Why is this birb obsessed with me and always following me around?" Our 2nd birb was such a cutiepie and a little bit mischievous as she got less shy. 💘 She adored birb #1 and looked up to her. Was just the sweetest creature ever. They brightened up some pretty dark times. That's the closest bond I've ever had with a pet. 🪄🦜✨
His bird sounds are so good that I can tell you have blue jays outside. It's amazing how well they can copy sounds. He's so smart! I love listening to parrots when they're just "talking to themselves" and practicing their sounds.
i love how he asks for snacks by saying he wants a snack and when that doesnt work he starts saying good bird and good boy since thats probably often followed by him recieving a snack. Its so adorable like watching a lil kid
Watching other African Gray videos, the parents say their African Grays will practice new words and work on their enunciating in the mornings and early evenings when they think they are alone. The same thing with Corvids.
Average bird schedule -Wake up and take largest poop of the day -Vocalize and practice into the void -preen -Aquire food/zoomies -Eat -zoomies -vocalize into the void -preen -Eat -Sleep
1:09 after Apollo made the bird of prey sounds, out loud I went 'wow!' and immediately after he goes 'woooooaaaoOOOOOwww.' (aka Mario falling) 🤣🤣🤣 I laughed so hard, It couldn't have been more perfectly timed
back in the 90's, my dad had an african grey. my dad was sick, so he was retired, & he played Mario world on nintendo 64 or whatever it was on at the time. the african grey mimicked every coin sound, or 'lets a go'
Omg my boyfriend and I WHEEZED at the Mario sounds! We watch every single Apollo video as they’re uploaded, I think it’s super cute how he sounds just like Dalton when he speaks, and all of the pop culture references make us super happy! We’re considering getting a bird at some point, probably a an Indian ringneck because they’re great talkers but way smaller than an African gray, at some point because we love listening to Apollo talk so much!
.... I have to remember not to preview new Apollo videos around my chickens. It's very funny but does invoke chaos. ❤️ yall! As always thanks for the videos !
I always seem to end up watching Apollo videos at night and the sheer self control I have to exert to not go wake my gray up to play is too much! But alas my lil boy will be so grumpy if woken up past his bedtime/nightime routing and passive aggressively tell me “go to bed time!” And then relent for extra cuddles/scritches
The fact that he can do a Mario falling sound is hilarious and impressive!! That’s such a specific noise too!! Did you know: African Grays can have the cognitive abilities of a 4-5 year old human?
Hi. OMG. Way too funny!!!! Crack me up!!!! Smart bird!!!! Your hard work with him shows. Keep sharing with all of us. It is great to see his progress. 😂😊❤
He really cracked me up laughing apollo is so amazing bird 🐦 his words are so clear I love to hear the 🐔 noise I love ❤️ him dearly you must be very proud of him so much
What is so funny about Apollo, he is just so damn serious, I just love him he is so cray cray. He sounds just like Dalton so funny how they all have their own personalities it's amazing. Hello girls, hi Tori.
I just noticed Apollos red tail feathers. I love them, they make him look so different from any of the other birds. He is so Handsome and can really understand you as well as carry on a conversation, that is if he wanted to. He is such a smart bird 🐦 👏.
I was absolutely floored hearing a perfect hawk call followed by a perfect Mario death.
It was a blue jay call
That's a blue jay "food" call. I guess they found Apollo's pistash.

@@rskye11 Mimids are a certain family of birds including the mockingbird. The blue jay is a corvid, not a mimid. However it is a MIMIC.
@@mr.d00m37 corvids are often excellent at being mimics, so I see where they went wrong
always cracks me up when he does the chewin’ sound then scolds himself “no chewin!” lol gotta love Apollo ❤
0:22
@@ARandomPerson--thanks so much for the time stamp! ❤
Thats my favourite!
I think it is funny that we can hear Dalton's inflections in Apollo's voice.
And Tori’s in many words
He's doing both parts of the conversation.
When I first started hearing this video, 8 thought it was Dalton. 🤣🤣🤣 I'm so observant. 😂
yeah, there is an old video somewhere of a seal also repeating common phrases of it's trainer and with the same accent
I def hear Tori! Like in "metal" and some other ones especially. She enunciates really well!
When Apollo goes from sounding like Dalton to sounding like Tori in the next breath 😂
Their vocal talents are truly astounding.
Yes!! 🤯
When he sounded like Tori I actually thought it was her talking in the background
@peter the grey african Tori is Apollo and the girls human Mom 🙂
Is there a good timestamp example?
i love how he headbanged then said "metal" right after
apollo is my favorite musician
For me it was the best part in the video. 😂
😂
I like how his actions fit with his words. Especially banging his beak then declaring "glass cup" - as if he was imagining testing a real cup.
Nah bro that bird is randomly saying words that make no sense, like sign language chimps
@@ronmka8931 bro you gotta watch the video for like 2 seconds to see Apollo isn't just spurring words out randomly. Like, he says "there's a bird outside" and then starts making chirping noises
“Wanna touch?”
*starts smacking beak on cage*
Let's look over here, goes exploring
@@ronmka8931you’d be surprised to learn how smart parrots are. they can learn to associate words with actions.
There's something amazing about hearing a dead-on impression of a bluejay immediately followed by the yell Mario makes when he falls to his death.
Apollo loves hearing good boy. He’s so cute.
0:20 "Good birrrrrk!"
Imagine you wake up in the middle of the night and all you hear is “Wanna earn a pistash?” from down the hall…
I’d go out there and earn that pistash
Like a macaw Jigsaw.
Thank you for sharing Apollo with us. These videos and shorts have helped me get over the loss of my precious birb. I just love his personality.
Honestly same. The love I felt for my bird before she passed is immeasurable, and I can never forget her. Something about watching the same kind of bond in a different flock does help quell the pain a little bit though.

Same, I lost my bird

@@anonomooose, yes. Not as well as parrots, but they can talk.
@@ApolloandFrens Well put! A bit of heaving, a bit of chewing, a bit of pretending they were not. 😂
@@ApolloandFrensI like how he makes up new words by combining words he learned…pis-nack
I love that he now has a bird sound to go with the birds outside
We've been spoiled today with the return of Apollo's squirrel detector, bird detector and succbird aliases at the same time.
1:09 after Apollo made the bird of prey sounds, out loud I went 'wow!' and immediately after he goes 'woooooaaaoOOOOOwww.' (aka Mario falling) 🤣🤣🤣 I laughed so hard, It couldn't have been more perfectly timed
It's a blue jay call
@@tallic967it is also the Mario death noise.
Game Theory Mario is Blue Jay Confirmed@@knightogourd
1:57 "Metal" I am dead ☠️
back in the 90's, my dad had an african grey. my dad was sick, so he was retired, & he played Mario world on nintendo 64 or whatever it was on at the time. the african grey mimicked every coin sound, or 'lets a go'
imagine an intruder entering your dad's house and all of a sudden he/she hears "let's a go!"
The editing just takes it to another level of funny! 👌 the "Mario falling" noise cracks me up every time! Lol

Lol its so funny when he says no chewin 😂
0:40 I know that one hurt! 🤣
He's so sweet! I love the sweet expression in his little eyes when he's talking 💗🐣😊🐣💗
I love his eyes too, so cute and intelligent 😊
I love how you edit the Videos Tori. The way he burps lol. He's adorable
Apollo is entertaining enough - but your captions and editing really make these videos a highlight of my day.
And the thumbnail 💯😂
@@danakchampionthe thumbnails are amazing!
Omg that headbang with through the fire and flames in the background followed by a "metal". Apollo knows about music too.
Herman would approve
“We’ll be right back…” was genius.
It’s currently 11:20 pm at night. And I absolutely lost it at 1:12 with the “WAAAAAAAAA!!!!!” I woke up my entire family 💀💀💀
Apollo: head banging
Also Apollo: "Metal"🤟
😂
Love the edits 👍
And remember...."no chewin" x
And remember to stop doin the corn
"You chew corn, ehhhh?"
“Wanna touch”... proceeds to give himself brain damage 1:33
“That’s glass cup”
.... I have to remember not to preview new Apollo videos around my chickens. It's very funny but does invoke chaos.
❤️ yall! As always thanks for the videos !
wow im surprised at well he imitated a blue jay that i thought there was one actually outside lol
That double “lay back” plus the SVU gong 😩😩😩
That grunt at 2:35 🤣 and the freestyle sounds at 2:29 are the highlights for me.
0:59 *cartoony fall sound* *kiss* "hello :D"
1:58"🎸🤟,metal"
The 'woooows' got me 😂😂
"It's water. You water plants!" Wow. I wonder if that was intentional. That's pretty smart if so.
0:11 *gasp* good job
A.I. (Apollo Intelligence) will make humans obsolete in the field of earning a snacc
"Oh, this guy." 😂
I love it so much that you share Apollo with us. I had a African Grey and its such a treat to see yours. He always make me smile.
so funny to hear another bird bawk like a chicken
1:46 - 1:55 Apollo has *seen things*
"suck" 💀💀💀
It is always a joy to watch Apollo say what his brain has put together. I will call it 'Word Salad'...😂 ❤ Love him. 😊
The Goodest Boi 😭
2:35 best noise.
He’s funny as Shrock! Color Buh- ull - lah-lac- laaackk!
1:21
"what colour is this?"
"this is a bowl!"
These videos are the only things that make me smile when I'm in a bad depressive episode. I love Apollo ❤
1:52 I'm speechless
I find it cool when he realizes that words are related. Like he was saying "Water the plants!" then realized that it had "Plant" in it.
He had the Jay and Chicken spot on
Imagine waking up at 3 am and hearing “WaAaAaAaAHhHhH”
when he really enunciated the phonemes in "black" my linguistics degree went 🥹 love this bird with my entire heart and soul tbh
I just spit all my water on my monitor at him falling LMAO
I always seem to end up watching Apollo videos at night and the sheer self control I have to exert to not go wake my gray up to play is too much!

2:01 when i point apollo to meet my friend 😂👨🏿
*headbangs* "metal"
bro knows what he mean
0:42 ,we'll be right back 😂
“Wanna snack?”
“Wanna pistach?”
Something is telling me.... a nagging feeling really.... that Apollo wants a stash.
"Wanna touch" - Smashes head agains wooden pole. So much energy.
1:57 Don't know why but I love that sound.
2:09 mario 64 lol
WUU-AOW!
I relate to this bird too much in the way of living in a box and muttering random words to oneself.
Clearly Apollo is secretly part chicken lol.
"suck" those slurp sounds such a funny bird
and the accuracy of the Mario scream
I love his wild bird call, wish he did it more
The Law & Order had me dead lmao
I finally heard Black enunciated like Plask.🤣😍🥰
Hi. OMG. Way too funny!!!! Crack me up!!!! Smart bird!!!! Your hard work with him shows. Keep sharing with all of us. It is great to see his progress. 😂😊❤
How great you adopted Apollo, talented, cute and adorable boy ❤❤❤❤
"wanna touch"
*slams beak
He really cracked me up laughing apollo is so amazing bird 🐦 his words are so clear I love to hear the 🐔 noise I love ❤️ him dearly you must be very proud of him so much
Wow he can really amuse him self.
He is a talking machine!
His chicken sounds are amazing
Dalton imitation is getting scary good
I absolutely adore the falling bomb sound followed by a kiss at 0:59. Epic kiss: so cute.
The socks have been real quiet since this dropped
What is so funny about Apollo, he is just so damn serious, I just love him he is so cray cray. He sounds just like Dalton so funny how they all have their own personalities it's amazing. Hello girls, hi Tori.
Him mimicking other birds and the videogame voice clips is really incredible
*Downward sliding whistle*
*Kiss*
"Hello!"
He is just having a ball by himself 😂❤ actually knows how to say so much more, he outsmarted human and will only talk to earn a snack! 😁
Witnessing The succccc has traumatized Apollo and broken his brain 🤣
0:29 Tori with the godlike editing skills as usual
3:15 he going crazy
That's natural and okay
Must be a joy editing the cute parts out of his daily screaming.
Doing his self affirmations. Good for Apollo.
I just noticed Apollos red tail feathers. I love them, they make him look so different from any of the other birds. He is so Handsome and can really understand you as well as carry on a conversation, that is if he wanted to. He is such a smart bird 🐦 👏.
My daughter and I love all videos of Apollo and his sisters. He's really sounding more and more like Dalton. It's great!!❤❤❤
Apollo is superb
excellent,How smart bird,thanks😊
Apollo, the perfect bird and squirrel detector.
3:20 GOT ME 😭😭😭
I love how he says “hello. This is a bug” like he’s on a phone😂
0:42 OH NO!!!
