A Parrot Rhyming Words?

Yes, he does make up words a lot. Shrock is the obvious example.
Sometimes when practicing he'll combine words with sounds in common. We've heard War-rock, Pis-shrek, Pis-snack, and many more. His theme here is "-ock" words.
Apollo is our 3 year-old African Grey parrot we've had since December 2020.
Founder of Shrock and renowned GLASS connoisseur.

* Apollo dancing enjoying his best life * * bird brain starts to work * *"CORK"* * proceeds to keep dancing *

[@ruthhopeful1405]

But that was the lyrics of the song! I understand it is hard to imagine a song composed of one single word but it was beautiful. I love this song.

[@Becsx]

@@ruthhopeful1405 oh absolutely, it's a very, very complex and abstract art form, pure art

[@YuBeace]

The flaw in this logic is the mistaken assumption that dancing isn’t also bird brain at work. 🤓 Cork!

[@ThW5]

Ah, a southern Irish song...

[@FORGED-STEEL]

New and improved tequila song.

[@xyz7572]

I love how he stopped in the middle of his funky dance performance to stare into the camera all seriously and say _”cork”_ before resuming his goofy dancing 😂

[@spamtownhamilton6200]

As an adult with ADHD I think what cracks me up so much about watching Apollo entertain himself is that it reminds me soooo much of how I am by myself when I don't take my meds 😂 (The random noises and singing outbursts, the bopping around, all of it) lmao. I'd love seeing Apollo doing his thing anyway, but its so relatable that it makes it that much more endearing ❤

Apollo gives you a prescription for brocc, corn and fresh water.
