Apollo and Frens

Күн бұрын

Got some new props for Apollo. We're running out of ways to ask questions and combinations so it ends up leading to some strange ideas. Someone needs to link us to a paper Wario or something.
Apollo is our 2 1/2 year-old African Grey parrot we've had since December 2020.
Founder of Shrock and renowned GLASS connoisseur.
Follow us to see what happens when you raise a talking parrot as a human!

They actually DO have a sense of humor like that!! Once,when Alex had been answering questions for an interviewer for a very long time,the guy took his keys out,held up 3 keys&asked,"How many keys?" Alex stared the guy down&refused to answer,though the guy repeatedly repeated the question. He had become tired of not just answering questions,but answering such SIMPLE questions. At this point,he could count&add&subtract numbers&even TAUGHT language to younger greys! His owner(the professor who did the revolutionary,ground-breaking work with Alex,whose name stood for "Avian Language Experiment",said she got up&left the room for a minute. ) When she walked out,Alex gave the guy what he described as a "withering look"& said,"THREE! THREE KEYS,OK??" The book she wrote about her years of training Alex was incredible&,no matter how many times I've read it,I ALWAYS cry when he dies. Alex's story has inspired all these people to work with Grey's of their ownbut,so far,I haven't seen one that reached the level of learning Alex did! (Of course,he DID have a Ph.D&her students to work with him&every aspect of the way he would be handled&inter-acted with had been thoughtfully designed by her.) These birds are so highly intelligent(they can reach the intellectual level of a 7 year old human,but stay 2 years old emotionally their entire lives& stress takes a very big toll on their lives&,in order to be able to present her findings as FACTS,Alex had to be asked&correctly answer the same questions over 100 times&,in several pictures of him,you can see where he has plucked a lot of his feathers out. (When I got my grey,1/2 of her had all her feathers&the other side looked like a plucked chicken you would see at the grocery store. They would grow back&she kept re-plucking them.. The vet said she would probably do this the restof her life,as it was a habit now. These birds normally live to be 75 in captivity,but due to the stress he was under for years despite all the attention he got daily from all the students&the professor& all the special things they did like playing his favorite music daily(his favorite song was "California Dreamin' " by The Mamas&The Papas&he would close his eyes&sway to the music&it really calmed him&he got special treats&new challenging toys all the time,it was just too much. She left the lab one night&Alex said his usual goodbye,"Good night! I love you! You be good!"& she repeated it back to him. She says she got up the next morning,turned on her computer&saw a message from her asst.,who opened the lab each day. It read,"Sadly,we lost one of our Grey's last night." She said she was physically frozen for a moment but in her head she was screaming,"PLEASE DON'T LET IT BE ALEX!" over&over. She called&asked which bird it was. The girl was new&didn't know the birds by name yet,so she screamed,"Is it the cage in the back,on the left?" When the girl answered that,yes,it was the bird in that cage,she said she became totally limp&just slid from her chair onto the floor&lay there curled in the fetal position crying until she completely lost the ability to make a sound. Alex was on the cover of Time magazine that month&,at the end of the year,Newsweek put him on their annual list of the"100 Most Influential People Who Died That Year". Like so many great trailblazers,Alex wasn't widely known&appreciated until after his death. The thing is though,Alex wasn't special. When choosing a bird,she had her husband pick him out of a group of 20 one-year old Grey's who were all perched on a long perch at the pet store. She wanted him to be randomly chosen by someone else so it could never be said that she saw something different about him. Every one of these birds has the ability to do everything Alex did&they will pick up on things like colors&the names of things just by observing &paying attention to their surroundings. Their natural ability to mimic sounds,which they use in the wild to mimic the sound of the predator of THEIR predator to scare them away is so much fun to listen to when you have one of these awesome birds as a pet!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

@micheleengel3428 I was taken aback by the length of your comment, but it was surprisingly easy to read. To be honest, it kinda feels like that "Hearing someone talk about something they're passionate about" thing haha Editing this now that I wrote my whole response, holy crap, I got a little carried away lmao I've never heard of that story, actually! Didn't even know there was a famous gray named Alex, so I thought you were talking about the guy in the video for a few seconds LMAO (I think his name is Alex but I might be mixing something up). I just checked, the guy's name is Dalton lmao. These parrots are CRAZY smart, I see videos of them all the time, and I'm always delighted/shocked, although I would never trust myself with that big of a responsibility. I feel like caring for a bird is a huge task, and I wouldn't want them to have anything but the best. Plus, wouldn't want to put that responsibility on anyone else (talking about their long lifespans), as my father did. I actually have two parrots (the regular green ones, two different species, though) and I really wanted to pass them to a ""sanctuary"" of sorts, but my mother was afraid of them dying. They never come out of their cages and, sadly, never had names until the pandemic, when I decided to name them... so yeah, caring for birds is not for everyone... Back to grays, though... Apollo here is very interesting too... like, at first sight, it might seem like he just answers those "basic" questions, but not really. In other videos, he: 1: Showed curiosity: When he sees an object that he doesn't know the material of, he will ask Dalton the same way he asks Apollo ("What's it made of?") 2: Disagreed with Dalton: I have two main examples of this one: 2.1: The wall incident: Apollo "beaked" the wall (kitchen tiles) a couple of times, then asked Dalton what they were made of. Dalton said it was rock, and Apollo repeated it. A few seconds later, he beaked the wall again and said "It's glass". Dalton considered that he taught mugs were made of glass. In the end, Apollo won the discussion. 2.2: The bug incident: Dalton saw a snake outside and grabbed it to show Apollo (that's just funny tbh). Apollo first asks to touch, then understands as Dalton says he can't. Then, Dalton and Tori argues about whether it classifies as worm-bug (more based on appearance, and it has no legs) lizard (Tori says it's all scaly and usually bugs are edible for Apollo). Meanwhile, Apollo keeps repeating "It's a bug.". Apollo joined the discussion haha 3: Showed a comedic sense: Multiple examples also. My favorites are: 3.1: When learning "Shrek", he started to mix it up with "Rock". Then you can see him actually making a pun by saying (not training with Dalton btw) "Shrek. Rock. Shrock!". Yes, he said it with an excited voice. He later said "What's this? Shrock! Good bird!", which to me is a joke, since Dalton always tries to correct him/asks him to say it better. 3.2: On multiple occasions, he seemed to have some understanding of physical comedic delivery. Believe me here, but he has, multiple times, deliberately leaned into the camera to deliver a phrase. I swear to you, Apollo is breaking the 4th wall lmao. One good example is him doing the Mario death scream, walking over to the camera, looking at the lens, leaning in and saying "That's the wow!" 3.3: Dalton asked what a glass bottle was made of. As he always does, he beat his beak against it, then seemed uncertain. He said "Pour water", as the bottle had water inside. Sometimes, when he "forgets" the word, he says something related to show he knows what it is. Dalton said "No, what's it made of?". He turned towards the camera, said "Shrek" and shook his head up and down. I swear I think he realized he didn't know the answer, so instead he just tried to be funny. 3.4: In a similar situation, Dalton asked him what something was made of. His response was lightly taping it, leaning to the other side and saying "Shrock!", then boping his head again. Dalton seems to think the same thing that I do, because he then said "Now you're just being silly." 4: Corrected himself and trained on his own: Couldn't find the video I was looking for, but I remember he said "This is a black", then went "This is color. BL OH KH. OHCK. Block." 5: Showed pretty good communication skills. Yes, that's kind of the most straightforward one, but yeah. 5.1: Standing next to the window looking outside, where Dalton is, he says: "Dalton's outside! Tori!" 5.2: Staring straight into the camera and going "What?!" 5.3: Talking to himself: "Here, let me see your foot." "It's here." Puts claw up "Look" Tilts head towards his own foot. 5.4: When Dalton walked away from the window outside, Apollo put his foot up and stared at him, who waved, and Apollo said "Bye!"

Remember that parrots (and most birds) have a different color-sensing system than we do -- they see colors as a combination of four distinct color channels, we see it as a combination of only three. It's quite possible that to Apollo, that red glass looks closer to purple than it does to us, especially since birds can see into the ultraviolet range. You might want to start scoring "purple" as a correct enough answer for objects that we consider red, so as not to confuse or frustrate him regarding what may be a perfectly correct answer as he sees it (literally).

This is very useful information. That was a particularly deep red with a lot of blue in it-- more maroon than red... so it didnt surprise me that he said purple. Your information gives more concrete evidence to what I was thinking.

That's super interesting! To your last point, about scoring purple as a correct answer due to how he sees it.. since he has always seen red as purple, he just knows that color he sees as red and would never refer to it as purple unless his trainer called it purple. Think of it as if you were learning a different language. You still see the same color as before just use a different word to describe it. Let's use French as an example. In French, red is rouge. Now, let's assume you don't know that, and the person teaching you decides to pull a prank and teach you that red in French is actually verde. Verde is green in actuality, but not knowing this and trusting the person teaching you, you go on believing that red is verde in French. You still see red,you know it's red, but call it green in French. So basically, the bird knows that the color he sees is what his trainer calls red regardless of how the bird perceives that specific color. If his trainer ever taught the bird what purple looks like, that will look different to the bird than red does and he will call that color purple.

Not likely. Owner is an interrogator. Rote training plus pistachio Pavlov. Apollo is never allowed to talk for himself. Like Jack Russel terrier training the obstacle course every day the same. Not just talking sh_t. My grey parrot talks in simple sentences. Constantly says sentence combinations never spoken before by me or her. My AG definitely knows what it is saying as indicated by the cluster of things said both independently and in conjunction with me. She has a perfect mastery of tone and emphasis like a person. Comic sarcastics, reinforcing meaning with support peripheral comments and so on. I never cue her or direct the spoken interchange. In fact I do all the repeating. Yeah. I'm HER parrot. I say a phrase or word to her a dozen times, and couple of weeks later she says the new learned words out of nowhere independently with perfect pronunciation and understanding. Able to correct and refine her speech word by the syllable. Yes indeed. At first I was amazed by Dr. Irene Pepperberg's work with Alex. Years later I arrived at teaching my parrot like a child learning to speak. Create a cluster of words and the association of meaning. That was my bird's start. It talks in sentences now. It's painful to listen to Apollo being drilled. Just know better. However, my bird's speech comprehension wouldn't be as out front and directly understandable by someone that doesn't know her like me. My African Grey says, "F_ckem, George. F_CKEM!"
