Apollo Gets an A+ 🎓

Apollo's been back to doing really well on most of his words.

Apollo is our 3 year-old African Grey parrot we've had since December 2020.

Founder of Shrock and renowned GLASS connoisseur.

Follow us to see what happens when you raise a talking parrot as a human!

Apollo saying Wario never fails to make me smile. What a smart boy

[spadinnerxylaphone]

I love how most of what you trained him to identify is common objects and colors, but you threw in Wario along with them

[Vister_Freak]

“This is a….Bowl??” He’s just the cutest little thing ❤

[droidmodz]

"What color is this?"
*Turn face
"black."

[CadaverCo]

I love how he hits it, doesn’t even try to lean in for a pistash, just looks at the camera and goes “glass”

[idontknow]

"This is a ball."
"A bowl?"
"No, that's close, its a ball."
Apollo is stunned by this revelation.

The inflection when he seeks clarification is amazing. He actually forms questions with proper intonation. “This is a bowl?” Amazing.

[magica]

I love how he says "this is a plant" idk why lol

[deceit]

The way he said “this is a bowl?” He even got the tone of a question right

[themosaicshow]

“it’s a bowl?”
“just wait a second!”
he’s so eager to keep learning :)

[Ash_Vulpine]

The way he changed his cadence and he thought bowl when you said ball was really intriguing, like even though birds don’t really have a tone or inflection, he straight up made it sound like a guess that he wasn’t even sure of, coolest bird ever.

I see Apollo has won the Guinness World Record for the most items identified. Congratulations Apollo. Good boy.

[teresamartin]

It amazes me that he doesn't always answer with just one word. He uses full sentences. "This is a plant"

[ambarely-here]

"this is a bowl?" - me in school when i didn't understand the question

[alexanderpark]

his 'BLACK' is just the best

[DimitrijeKrunic]

The fact that Apollo took only one pistachio out of the jar is so cute and mind-blowing to me

[hype]

It's insane how when he's unsure his voice lifts up ad the end of his sentence like a humans does. He really listens.

[Stopaskingwhyandjustreadit]

Was this all the same session? He's so engaged today!

[elizabethwall]

He is so smart and getting smarter every day!! He knows “G L A S S” is a fan favorite so he likes to turn straight to the camera to say it! 😂

[cosmicbonzo]

I love when he turns to the camera and answers like he’s proud.
