PC Building with our Bird

Tori wanted to have her own personal computer so we decided to try and build the whole things with Apollo on the loose. He very much seems to love the LTT screwdriver.
Apollo is our 4 year-old African Grey parrot we've had since December 2020.

@@kitkat5765 I think Apollo hates LTT and his screwdriver

[@johannageisel5390]

It's great how situation-appropriate his mutterings are. He says "throw" when he throws something, "drop" when he drops something, and "Hello" when the phone rings.

Apollo knew you guys couldn’t build that PC unsupervised. He is an expert in PC building.
