Showing Our Talking Parrot a Snake 🐍

Dalton caught a snake outside and decided to show Apollo. It's a Black Racer if you're wondering.
Apollo is our 3 1/2 year-old African Grey parrot we've had since December 2020.

Fascinating how he thinks. He has been shown bugs and told they are bugs, so we think he knows what a bug is. But he has maybe made the association bug = living animal...

[@volvodoc01]

@@Nebol He uses the closest words he knows in his vocabulary…. And he’s shockingly good at it! When he seen rain for the first time and said “pour water…..fresh [clean] water”, and realized he’s not wrong… and how he put that together in his mind I was floored! My African Grey, Bo , knows all 4 of my kids by name, and even knew when they’re being naughty (would yell their name loud)…. Never taught him that. Learned it on his own!

Why can't it just be a snake? Worms and bugs don't stick their tongue out like that. Lizards have legs; snakes don't. Apollo is very smart. I think you should teach him the correct word. It's a snake.

[@invertedghostgames9899]

I agree that Apollo is very smart. However, you also having to consider that they do need to keep at least some words from sounding too much like others. Don't get me wrong, hearing him mix up things like block and rock can be funny. And it'd probably be even funnier if he mixed up something like snake and snack. But there's also only so many words he can know, so it's better to keep it simple.

A truly terrifying and confusing moment in that string’s life

[@ellecapone1337]

A string with a mouth 😂

Then the Noisy Biped Ape takes you back outside after presenting you to the Flying One and conferring with his mate, speaking their alien language at each other. Before today, you didn’t even know Flying Ones could speak Ape languages, let alone live in their box dwellings together. The world is a terrifying place, indeed.

Would be worse if he called me Wario

[@dennis-is-a-bastard-man]

These videos are insane. They're really showing how intelligent and communicative these creatures are- he has classifications for things, he groups objects together. He makes guesses. He uses touch to identify things and *asks* if he can touch something. Of course he thinks it's a bug. It's long, it's alive, it's wriggling and it's bug coloured. Those things are "a bug" to him. He's literally learning language in ways a child does, its crazy!

The "ohhh" is so cute😊

[@IcedNunya]

All the things this amazing bird can say but my favorite is his little oooo

[@lisafuller2027]

So cute his voices! And how he scoots over to mama. "Its a bug!" 😂😅

[@larryd9577]

Birds eat snakes all the time. I'm with Apollo on this one "It is a bug".

[@ironbatman9689]

Parrots are herbivores and only eat meat. A wild parrot would freak out when seeing a snake, even a small one like that.

[@lazulelle]

Not enough people talk about Apollo's "ÆW 🦖" noises, those are the ones me and my boyfriend imitate the most xD

[@olhydra]

Same! I love it lmao

[@merriellenroselette5191]

I was looking for a comment like this xD it's so funny

[@dudeivealreadydonethis5tim289]

It's almost like he said ohh

[@coolmanbob2096]

Cringe aff..

[@ghostkiie]

it SO cute how he just wants to call it a bug 🥺🥺

[@XxCaptainAudxX]

Love that the snake was actually pretty chill and was also interested in apollo, apparent by the direction of the tongue, snake was sniffing the bird

[@jamdeklein2]

I know right I was gonna point that out too.

[@Aterhallsam]

One month later: “.. I got a mountain lion” Apollo: yellow bug

[@anthonyfloyd2327]

I wonder how a whale he believes if he sees the same as a bug.

[@3metreflattys672]

💀💀💀💀

[@that_one_doggo8391]

Watching you guys slowly realize how hard it is to catagorize things is quite amusing

[@gavinwigg8057]

I have despised birds for my whole life until I found this channel. 47 years - not kidding. So wild to watch.

[@Shenorai]

I think Apollo says it's a Bug because it upset Tori when brought inside XD

[@kbaylor123]

That should absolutely be the definition

[@TamaraKane]

Makes sense

[@StaceyIsles]

He's observant af FR FR on god

[@alangolbourn6810]

I love Apollo. He mocked his owner at the end with the "Alright Apollo" his such a smart bird. Been this guy on Instagram since day one

[@dibosh7405]

Birds definitely knowingly troll us

[@TylerOfChaosYT]

"Lizards have scales, lizards are reptiles" The Snake: Excuse me? 🤨
