​@@kaldo_kaldo right?! How did he not only learn how to make a suck sound but also associate it with the word "suck"?

Yeah this video is proof that the guy made his bird insane. He literally asks the bird every 2 seconds, what's this made of, what colour is this, what animal is this... and then he shoves a bunch of nuts down its throat to reward it.

birds will never sieze to amuse you. But amusement will become annoyance when every morning mario pays you a visit.

[@harveywallbanger3123]

Only some of their noises are actually cute. Most are just annoying and loud. Worst is if you reinforce it by getting mad, then they REALLY love to do it because they're intelligent and like to get a rise out of you.

[@thatstheaxo]

"Glass cup... Pour water!" The fact that he knows how to put these things together is very cool

[@kirby4815162342]

It’s because they’re typically said together. He isn’t putting them together

[@codeyisafk9487]

It’s actually pretty interesting. Apparently African grays can learn the meaning behind words so it is possible that Apollo here actually knows the meaning behind glass cup and pour water.

[@catpoke9557]

​@@codeyisafk9487He does know what a glass cup is. They trained him to recognize them and remember the name. He also seems to know pour water refers to pouring water but others theorize he might also think that's just the word for a sink

​@@catpoke9557It seems to me like he associates running water, rain, and the sink with the phrase "pour water"...
