Born to eat pistash, forced to touch purple

[cassiehosh]

watching apollo get a guinness record is like watching that one distant cousin getting into harvard

[Kriskirby]

I've watched Apollo's channel grow since before his third birthday, and now he's off breaking world records I'm so proud

[soniquefus]

I can just imagine how weird it probably is for someone watching this with no knowledge of Apollo watching this guy put a sock on his head and say "What am I doing?"

[abigfatkittycat]

His owners showed him his award and he asked for a pistachio 😂

[thesos]

I love how Apollo saw the sock and really didn't want it as a hat, the scared "hat" gets me hahaha

[TTabbyTT]

Apollo is such a smart bird, he even created own names for things, like Shrock

[o-redacted]

Apollo deserves that world record after how many times he's had to tell Dalton that the bowl is made of metal

[griffyt]

Apollo reached for the sky and touched purple

[SimonVega]

1:20 He didn't just say "bell". He said "That's a bell" 🤯

[PhngluiMglwnafh]

It's official, he's the best bird

He even manifested his own word into existence. The SHROK. Shrek Crocs lol

I'm so glad that Wario is apart of this parrot's vocabulary, and identification! Wahhh!

[MatthewDunford-ol]

Can identify Wario, no doubt a parrot of culture
