Some days you wake up and it’s a Shrek day, other days you wake up and it’s a Wario day.

[@Paganbeliever]

But most of the time it's laser day

[@TH3V0ID.]

but every Monday is a *P L A K* day.

[@madduxnagel6935]

But nothing can truly bring you down like one of those *iPhone recording sound effect* days

[@flareboy2243]

And some days you just wanna rrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[@isskull7272]

However, every day is a dancing day.

[@greatPretender79]

Tori: good morning [opens cage] Apollo: C O R K

[@vancakes4500]

That had me rolling! 🤣

[@AlexGoingFlight]

That was hilarious

[@davidca96]

his headbanging and the way he puts his foot up expecting to promptly be taken out is hilarious

[@carolz5090]

It’s always nice to hear Dalton and Tori when they’re not in serious training mode and just enjoying or having fun with Apollo.

[@Antonio-qv4op]

Apollo knows the thing everybody thinks of when they wake up S H R E K

[@luchendrix99]

It gets me everytime Apollo says "ShhhhhrOCK" hahaha, it's my favourite word he says

[@DkKobaADV]

he definitely finds it hilarious too

[@MrBroken030]

Sometimes you wake up and you just know its gonna be a "Wario" day :D

[@tarabelle7716]

morning affirmations

[@phantomfeather518]

And sometimes it’s a “Rock” day 😔

[@asc11T0ast3r]

And sometimes you just dont know how you feel,and its a shrock day.

[@sweptashore]

From now on: *Other Person*: Good Morning *Me*: Wario (or, Shhhhhrrrrock)

[@EyeonthePrize247]

@@sweptashore The only acceptable response 😂

[@ruthhopeful1405]

4:16 proud day for Dalton. Mr. Apollo graciously addressed him "buddy" Not a privilege earned by anyone else as far as I Know

[@NecramoniumVideo]

Wakes up just like i do, headbanging, take a coffee, whoop whoop, eat some food, throwing some stuff around and burp...

[@Brucecont.]

This reminds me of my african grey that passed away. Every morning she would say "good morning" to me and my mom and cackle at my mom. She would say "grandma... Fat grandma" then laughs. Ahhh good times. I still miss you coco

[@revenevan11]

2:51 I love the breathy little chuckle under your breath when Apollo says "Wario" first thing in the morning 😅🤣

[@LunaCidnie]

He goes from baby parrot noises to hello! Step up! And a lot of Wario! Haha it’s so cute

[@rookbirdblues]

what incredible progress he’s made over the past year! can’t wait to see where he is in another years time.

[@suedavis7451]

Dancing Apollo is my favorite. He has moves!!!

[@MaximizedAction]

That unison “WARIO” and how we can hear you breath-laughing 😁

[@RayAkuma]

"Hey Apollo, what's going on?" "rrrrrock!"

[@lyoness6]

How am I so invested in seeing a bird learn to say "cork"?

[@kiakia6617]

I think the dance is a way to show he is happy to see you. Like a good morning or a greeting... So sweet and cute❤

[@Justicia007]

Yes, had the same feeling

[@KBY30]

“Good morning, Apollo.” “Shrek.”

[@vancakes4500]

"what's going on?" "RRROCK."

[@jamesh.8344]

I can't get enought of Apollo's little talks and his little head bangings.

[@heartroll8719]

When he said “burp” that made me laugh a bit.

[@takingmyspiritback8060]

is he really burping or just mimicking it?

[@Zamerus]

@@takingmyspiritback8060 Apollo said the word burp

[@takingmyspiritback8060]

@@Zamerus lol I thought he actually did burp once

[@lisaricci4779]

Apollo is so serious, I just love his little voice.

[@Astuar]

All sleepy African Greys do the same "Uuuu" sound:)

[@bruh666]

I love how you can tell he's happy and excited to see you

[@colinmartin9797]

Weirdly quiet morning bird. My sun conure is just a yelling clicking chatterbox for a good five minutes after I uncover her.

[@lubnah3521]

Even my little canary used to sing his heart out the minute he wakes up

[@gretelmolgora5688]

5:29 so he still can say rock! Such a sweet little guy

[@devinlino7047]

I find that Appollo has more personality than most birds, and people. What a curious and happy fellow

[@Protect_all_ljf3forms]

Apollo: ok I got this when he says hello I’ll say it back hello Apollo: shrek warrio (dance)

[@takingmyspiritback8060]

shaking the cage, such a happy boy dancing to see u!

[@DanielledeVreede]

That peek-a-boo was so cute!❤️

[@alisonsoifer4191]

Apollo is so intelligent! He makes me smile and laugh all of the time!

[@imaramblins]

My mom told me the story of her grandma, my great grandma (who I never met) had a parakeet... Every morning she'd say godd morning Tippy. Of course the bird would answer back... Good morning Tippy.... My great grandma died.... Sometime in the 50's... My mom was the one who found her... Sad... The bird all of a sudden, got depressed, and died too... One of the saddest things I've ever heard.... It was bonded to my great grandmother, and when she was gone, it didn't want to live anymore... ☹😞

[@markcox5385]

I think I’m going to start doing a good morning dance for my wife. Not sure she’ll appreciate it though. 🦜

[@obscuree4999]

We need more Apollo dancing, it's so cute 😂

[@SWISS-1337]

He's doing the wario dance move. So cute.

[@jasond.b-w]

Cork to you too, past Apollo! ❤️

[@Mister_BIack]

*friend walks in* "Hello." "Wario."

[@madchenyt]

dalton: hello? 🤔 apollo: hi buddy, wanna step up? *cute little paw* he has his star wars blanket to be tucked in 🤍🤍

[@BelelEscabel]

Precious birb.

[@PetiteParrotLover]

Awww, my favorite time of day is when I get our Cape Parrot from her sleep cage in the morning! The first thing she does when we leave her room is say, “Alexa,” because she wants some music to get our day rolling!❤

[@OverAndOverAndOver]

0:18 awww that's why you know they're happy to see you

[@80sfordman]

Love his “Happy Dance”. 😊

[@elyen1151]

The mornings you wake up as a different(forever)version of yourself: WORIO, SHROCK, WORROCK etc, you tell me Apollo❤

Tori: morning Apollo Apollo: S H E R K

I feel that his nodding always means: Yes!

Wario :dances:

[@tuhin94]

“Good morning!” **Laser machine gun**

[@jakestilgard4145]

I love it. She says "Good morning to Apollo" and opens the cage. He hops onto her hand and the first think he says to start his day is "Let's go". Apollo could be a motivational instructor.

[@tibbydudeza]

Mine is grumpy in the morning ... we perch him in the shower stall for his morning ablutions which is probably the worst. He then watches us showering and then by breakfast time he starts talking.

[@Sarah.Riedel]

"Oooooo" 🎵

[@ospreygaming1793]

If he shakes his head like that does that mean he's happy?

[@Peperjackchese]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@RobertoGabriel]

Excitement. At least that was the case with my budgies.

[@ospreygaming1793]

@@RobertoGabriel i see thx!

[@HajudinStar]

Sometimes he tells 'jokes' and bops his head like that, so I'm guessing it can also be amusement :D

Usually it means Apollo is playing silly

Apollo: burp He is so cute dancing every morning

[@anonanonanon6273]

"Good morning!"..........SHREK.

[@ivyisle]

With the bell in April, he heard you jingle the bell when you took the blanket off, and his response was to ring the bell in his cage to say "I can do that too" and then for him to do it again some time later to say " I'm awake let me out" also it's funny how the noises he makes with you vs your lady is interesting

[@Arik_Romi]

Hes genuinely funny

[@mrredeyes7021]

What a great video to wake up to

[@juliee.7072]

[@faroffsuns8011]

Apollo is the reason why I'm seriously thinking about getting an African grey hello🌚

[@Arkalius80]

They're wonderful pets and companions but realize they are not exactly cheap (not just talking about the cost of acquiring the bird itself but all the stuff that comes with it) and they require a lot of attention to remain happy and healthy. If you aren't sure that you can devote the required time to that then you're better off just enjoying videos like this one.

[@kh7955]

Not to mention they live longer than you probably will. Not being morbid, just saying.

[@faroffsuns8011]

@@kh7955 yeah I know all that. At the end of the day I won't be able to afford a parrot what time and money is concerned. Maybe I just keep on watching Apollo videos for therapy purposes

@@faroffsuns8011 yea trust me I get it. I made that comment bc that's why I don't have one. All good homie.

What the heck Apollo can make birb noises?

[@ApolloandFrens]

Hardly

[@mitchelldoughty7241]

When did Apollo start saying Shrek clearly like that? I had a chuckle when he went back to shrock. Silly boy. Kirby does something similar when I get him out of his outside avery. He just has to chew my fingers. He has done it for nearly as long as we had him. It is annoying and sometimes he can bite a bit too hard.

[@MrJammers]

"Let go" me: 😭Anywhere you want!

Apollo wants to change his name.

[@Staxx0]

I have a serious question that just came to mind watching videos of Apollo...has he ever cursed while talking or out of anger? Cause I've seen other gray African macaws swear when they get mad so im curious to see if Apollo does or ever did.

[@tibbydudeza]

If you swear they will pick it up and repeat it.

[@rookbirdblues]

they’ve said in lives that they’re very careful not to swear around him, so he doesn’t even know how to!

[@Staxx0]

@@rookbirdblues yea i know i asked them during a livestream the same question and they both said no because they don't want Apollo to swear

[@tibbydudeza]

Mine pick up words not by repetition but also how we use it - I said f**k a few times facing the PC but he never said it. The other day I asked him "Charlie did you have a sh*t already" ???. We then heard him repeating again and we laughed so he now keeps on saying it.
