Training Three Birds

Kinda' what our daily practice looks like. The sisters are super distracting for Apollo, and we usually work with them separately. We try to keep questioning light-hearted and without punishment. Apollo is really close to learning the label for "Croc," so we're really trying to finish that one. You can definitely see his confusion dealing with croc/cork/rock.
And I guess now SHROCK.

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!

Soleil, what is your name?
Ophelia, what is your favorite color?
Apollo, what is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Apollo going to get snacks himself: *Become ungovernable.*

Having cork, crock, and rock must be confusing the shit out of him haha. It’s adorable.

4:52 "You're scared of crocs...really?" LMAO, that's so relatable as a bird owner. I'll just be walking passed, wearing a hat and my bird will FREAK OUT

[MelpomeneAlchemist]

He's rebelling, it's adorable.

Take note if you're considering a parrot as a pet: this is the level of stimulation they need. Daily. For decades. Most people who have parrots simply shouldn't.

Apollo seems impatient today... I wonder if he's annoyed seeing the girls get rewarded for doing less than him

Shrek-Rock-Cork-Croc is absolutely the master class.

Man they always say these birds require a lot of attention and this dude genuinely puts in the work.

[Carissa.I]

It makes me smile stupidly when I watch apollo answer some questions correctly with ease yet still give wrong answers with such confidence!

[Here_This]

So cute, one girl was asked to spin around and both did . 🥰

[vanessak]

Ophelia and Soleil are such polite little ladies.

I love how he won't accept pecans, only pistach

[Coldkill]

I imagine its frustrating for apollo that he's in the advanced class and has to do more to earn his snacks.

[MatchaFurbies]

I love that when you asked Soleil to do a spin, Ophelia did one too, so cute!

Soliel holding her hand up for a shake while you’re working with Apollo is adorable…

[possibly_trustable]

I like how he treats apollo like a learning child and treats the others like dogs

[norbitical]

His sisters are adorable. Apollo out here going "cork" and Solei and ophelia are waddling around going "oo :D"

[Wandervenn]

Apollo: They just have to spin in a circle and this man keeps making me say Shrock.

So often I see people not doing their best with their animals and it is always so disheartening. I have just randomly found this channel and it is such a pleasure to see people who are truly dedicated to providing the stimulation, training and environment needed for birds to thrive and live their best lives. Your birds look incredibly happy and healthy! Great job to you guys, you are setting an incredible example for how to do things right.
