If you woulda told me a year ago that I would sit down and watch 12 minutes of a Parrot talking in a cage, I probably would've laughed at the idea. But I love this little guy - so funny. Also love Soleil and Ophelia. Never thought I would be a bird person, but these 3 are great.

At 8:05 when him and Sole match each other in sync and Apollo says "Hey that was cool" sounding like Beavis and Butt head lol my favorite part.

There is so much I love about this video, from his little chirps and video game sounds to the way he says "Apollo" in your voice! "Apollo come here! Step up. Alright, Apollo come here. Aww, he misses his daddy I think. However the thing that made me burst out laughing was him making his earsplitting sound followed "That's a Bad bird." 🦜🥰

Many years ago, while living in Wales (The Country lol) My Mum & Dad 'adopted an adult African Grey from a couple we knew who were divorcing (Parrot was the surrogate child and neither wanted the other to have it) - We also (living on a farm) had a Lurcher, said Lurcher had decimated our Ducks and chickens, so upon seeing the Parrot in a cage her eye lit up, Parrot looked at dog, one-side of the face to the other and went 'miaow' Dog never went near the Parrot after that even though she had free reign of the house. We also go every single argument her previous owners had indulged in, VERBATIM. it was very entertaining

[@justcommenting4981]

It seems like bobbing is vaguely a birb equivalent to laughing. Maybe he tells himself jokes.

[@Fordddyyy]

From all the stuff I've seen recently about parrots reciting events that have happened previously, especially traumatic incidents and arguments, It really feels like they're thinking through the things they associate the sound with. There are ofc all the times he says touch and then touches or says to himself to step-up and then does. Around 07:42 he starts talking about bath time and then squakes in time to the rhythm of how you usually play with the tap at the sink. It's really good to hear that apollo is thinking about all the stuff you do together and I don't think it's a leap to say he's going through those things because he knows he's being filmed. It would be really interesting to see if we could get actual secret recordings, though it does also feel like a bit of an invasion of privacy d:, but I think you might struggle to get one over on him anyway.

[@a52productions]

And a bit after that, at 8:05 or so, he makes the Bad Noise and then scolds himself!
