2 VS 1 Bird Wrestling (Cute Overload)

[@ummwhodidnt]

Exactly lol at first I couldn’t tell if he was bad at wresting/ scared or if he was just being nice not to hurt the smaller birds lol

[@murphychurch8251]

It's so strange and awesome to see a Grey this playful and interacting with other birds when you've grown up with a lonesome Grey that was more like a grumpy old man. Love it! 😳🤩🥰

[@Shikta-poobah67]

@@murphychurch8251 I also grew up around not one, but two very grumpy African Greys, and I never once saw them play together like this, or even play at all. They didn’t like each other and had to be kept separated most times. They both only liked my stepmom, and pretty much hated everyone else, which is fairly normal for African Greys. They’re “one person” birds. This is very unusual behavior for an African Grey, in my experience.

[@dr.altoclef9255]

He may have gained some behaviors from them.

[@Jazzinthedark84]

I realise that you commented this a year ago, but I'm only seeing this video now and your comment (plus replies) was the only one that explained why they had to split them up. Birds aren't really my area of expertise re animals, so I just wanted to ask if them being a different species can still trigger hormonal problems in each bird. Is that likely why they're in different cages too?

[@jmblazer72]

Apollo cutting a classic Ric Flair "Woooo".

[@suedavis7451]

They are friends and family!!! It’s nice to have more than one bird for them.

[@Hannib4lBarca]

I'm surprised Apollo is playing with them, since wrestling is a Caique thing!

Are Caiques the only ones that wrestle like that?

Does Apollo think he is a slightly oversized and somewhat monochrome caique? 😂 I have never seen an African Grey play like that!

[@klatuk4u1]

I understand how gentle they can be, but I always saw a parrot's beak as a pair of scissors, and this makes me very nervous :D

[@annehaight9963]

Bolt cutters, which is worse. Parrots can learn to be very gentle with their beaks, but the potential is there for tremendous harm. It's why you usually don't allow large parrots and small ones to interact. The size difference between Apollo and the caiques is minor enough that they might learn to play together successfully with close supervision.

[@tncorgi92]

@@klatuk4u1 My parakeets like when I play and tickle them. Except for my oldest boy, his bite is agonizing, I think he bites just as hard as he can. He has drawn blood. Maybe it's a dominance thing?

Oh yes even those little caiques pack quite a punch. Ours put a hole in my dad’s ear once. But these guys are supervised and seem to like each other very much so it seems ok

How can you tell when enough is enough, or when one of the girls/Apollo might be getting too rowdy? I can't read bird body language, so when I saw you guys refereeing their little match I wasn't sure what gave it away that they might take things too far.

[@TenshiLove5]

In a previous video about Apollo being horny, they said there's a low sound he makes that's hard to pick up on the camera, and he drops his wings in a specific subtle way. He also regurgitated food which is what I think happened at the end there.

[@lucykelly7152]

The smaller bird started hesitating, at the end, as if she was a bit overwhelmed. I think she was tired and a bit unable to cope with anymore.

[@annehaight9963]

@@hopesprings4967 Parrots in captivity have what my vet calls "conditions of abundance" regarding food and safety, so they often tend to be hormonal much more of the year than they normally would in the wild. It's important to learn to control this by altering environment and correcting behavior. It's for the bird's own wellbeing, since continuous hormonal arousal can cause serious medical problems, especially for females. My own lovebird hen has advanced endocrine disease as a result of this (she's a rescue and we think was used as a breeder bird), and she suffers from gout and a general frailty in her legs that makes it uncomfortable for her to perch. She lives in a modified cage with a soft bedded floor and no perches.

Wow, does anyone know whether African grays usually act like this? I'd never seen something like that; it seems that Apollo has picked up this typically caique behavior of play-fighting! It's like a cultural transmission, I'm impressed lol Smart boi

[@annehaight9963]

Parrots learn social behaviors partly by observation. It can be confusing sometimes if you raise a lovebird among budgies, and then the lovebird only speaks "budgie" and other lovebirds are like "I don't understand this weird lovebird".
