Apollo and Frens - Invidious

Apollo and Frens

Follow along as we do our best to raise Apollo to be the smartest parrot ever. He receives a preschool-level homeschooling education from his "parents," Dalton and Tori. Apollo studies and plays alongside his flockmates, Soleil and Ophelia the caiques.

Our goal is to make Apollo the smartest animal ever. Much of our inspiration comes from Dr. Irene Pepperberg and her work with Alex. We hope that by posting our progress, others can see what parrots are capable of. We also want to use the online community to share and exchange ideas on animal intelligence.

Some great footage of Apollo trying to learn how to say "orange" using a bunch of words & phrases he knows. Hopefully he doesn't lose wrench so soon.

So we’re over halfway through Apollo’s first set of research trials at ‪@eckerdcollegeflorida‬ being conducted by Gracie Barrentine. This study is to gauge his knowledge of object labels vs. their materials.
We only had a few options to work with, as we had to use items that he could answer for both label and material. These objects were chosen early summer of last year, so anything Apollo has learned since then could not be used. We also wanted to use items he was confident with.
For the sake of science, many of the objects were new to Apollo. What clearly gives us the most trouble is one of the glass bottles. It’s a more “traditionally” shaped bottle with a square body and a long, tapered neck. We suspect this gives Apollo a hard time because what he knows to be “bottles” are, most often, plastic pharmacy/pill bottles, and sometimes other bottles of the same shape and size.

Soleil’s learned to request screen porch time by flying onto the window and repeatedly saying “step up” as fast as possible 😂

She does a similar thing with going on the pellet jar to request food.
