A livestream with Apollo and his sisters. We let them set the pace for the most part. Usually we’ll be training, playing, and doing our best to respond to chat.

None of our birds are for sale, nor do we have connections with any parrot breeders or retailers. All of our flock was surrendered to a local pet store after difficulties with previous owners, where we found them.
We do not provide professional training advice. Before bringing a bird into your life, please conduct your research thoroughly and understand the significant responsibility they entail. Parrots are known to be loud, messy, and hormonal. They require a level of commitment that goes beyond typical pet ownership — be prepared to change your lifestyle to accommodate their needs.
Understand that every parrot is a distinct individual, and not all of them will talk. Those that do talk will develop a unique way of speaking and choose which words and sounds they learn. You can’t and shouldn’t force a parrot to talk.

Apollo is so inteligent
D: "This is shrek"

A: (bonks head) "Wario"
D: "No, this is Wario"
A: (bonks head) "Shrek"
Return of the Shrek, it is
Return of the Shrek, come on
Return of the Shrek, oh my God
You know that I'll be back, here I am
I’ve been showing Apollo to my Macaw and he runs to the phone screen to watch!!
Thrilled to learn you have a classic mammary light
Good description. So nice you both saved them
I like the closeups of the birds. And watching them dissect a walnut and using the mini pond.
5:47 first time I see Apollo getting wario wrong
He is having fun telling dad wrong words. He knows what they are. So cute. ❤😂
8:10 fire
Adorable family
Yeeeeeeeeessss❤❤❤❤
I don't know, but I hear the girls saying "peekaboo, pee" twice right at the beginning 🤔
wonna earn a psnack
My Mercury (Grey n his Timneh friend) watches Apollo while I’m working
Yeah, Apollo seems to have translated "wanna earn a snack" as "I want to engage with the humans in some way; the exact activity is irrelevant".
Of course, I also think he keeps saying "fire" because he's cold, so take this with a grain of salt.
you could play ocarina for the parrots 😂
to be fair; Wario is kind of a ball
❤❤❤❤❤I love these birds more every time I see them.
when the caiques walk on the counter, the little pitter-patter is adorbable
I often hear you say, "Hey, no smoochin'!" — but what does that mean and why is it forbidden?
Are you affectionate with him other times. Or just when he answers right? A lot of other grey will repeat words of affection that there owner use but i dont ever hear that from him or i haven't so far and watched a fair amount of your stuff. Dont get me wrong, awesome he can do this just wondering as all. Anyone correct me and direct me if needed, thanks.
shhhhhhhrock
Learning a recorder to play for Apollo might be easier than flute. It would be cute to see Apollo dance & sing – my Quaker dances and sings to music.
That "Bye" at the end 😭
"When it's not sunny he gets big feelings". LOL. Awhh. Poor baby.
I know it isn't quite the same, but maybe a sun light would be beneficial? They help me!
"Wanna earn a pisnack." 😂 ♡
I wonder if Apollo often calls out "hat" when doing "pour water" because you are putting one object you are holding above the other.
Nice camera and audio work on this video. Love your candidness.
Apollo is not a pet, he’s definitely a roommate.
