Love it at 6:30 when Apollo answers Shrek, bobbing, like he is laughing and joking, instead of saying Glass as the correct answer! This was 1 of my 1st Apollo videos and made me a fan!

@DevinJuularValentine Жыл бұрын

Yeah they get excited and Bob around when being cheeky. The feather puffing, eye pinning etc, lots of birdy body language to get used to. I know an African grey and she gets overexcited to see me and starts vibrating. The bobbing head stuff is definitely playful and curious

I know this is a few years old but I just got this recommended to me and going down this rabbit (bird) hole of this channel's videos has been SO nice. It's so amazing to see how smart Apollo is and how fast he can pick up on words and especially amazing how he is able to correct his mistakes without needing to start over at square 1 of the questions most of the time. There's something so wholesome and lovely about Dalton (& Tori) teaching Apollo and celebrating his little victories of correct answers. What a lovely channel. I love it! Y'all are doing great with Apollo and the girls as well! This is nothing but good vibes and happy fuel to me as well as many others I'm sure. Keep up the great work! :D

I'm honestly curious about if or when you are going to teach him the element "wood". it's everywhere in your living space, and would be an extremely helpful element to know about, definitely more helpful than "cork" 😂 But regardless, I'm just here for the general progression of Apollo, so whatever you do, you have my, and many others, support.

@rowdyposs Жыл бұрын

As a parrot parent I would not teach wood. I would worry it would bring it to his attention and he might focus on it and chew it. My bird chews anything wood or cardboard in my house.

It's quite fascinating to watch the development of Apollo here on the channel, I watch it a lot. About the colors there is just one thing I asked myself. Do birds see colors in the same way as we do? Some animals have a different spectrum as we have, insects see colors in flowers we can't see, dogs can't see certain colors we can. I was wondering how it is with birds.

@DevinJuularValentine Жыл бұрын

They see more colours, they see ultra violet range - so a lot of birds that look a bit drab to us are actually really colourful. I think it also helps them see their environment different like pick out berries and stuff easier. But it's also true we have no way of knowing my purple is the same purple you see!

@johnbigelson7471 6 ай бұрын

Just like the other guy said - they can see even a broader range into UV; which made me curious, I wouldn't be surprised if Apollo was more interested in the piece of quartz since wavelengths beyond visual can be reflected...

The donkey party is always looking for more diversity. Let's see if Apollo can figure out what he identifies as... aviansexual, nonbinary, species fluid? Watch out Tori! Next thing you know Apollo will get married to Dalton.
