It took a while, but Apollo has finally started to get the hang of playing with Soleil & Ophelia. #wrestling #playing #play #birds #cute #adorable #funny #africangrey #caique #parrot #animals
@@modernist927I was watching the video and my first thought was, "Geez, those two are just little terrors!" 😂 The annoying little sister energy is strong with them.
In addition, Tory has stated that Ophelia tends to mind her own business while Solei is more outgoing. Most of the time it’s Apollo and Solei taking up the screen time
That would be the case with every larger parrot species. I definitely would be extremely cautious with those little girls around a sulphur-crested cockatoo, for example.
@@mr.spongylikeaboss4987No, it's just that people either don't really know the definition of love or use in with a loose, casual and imprecise way as a synonym for enjoy, like or like a lot.
It's so strange and awesome to see a Grey this playful and interacting with other birds when you've grown up with a lonesome Grey that was more like a grumpy old man. Love it! 😳🤩🥰
@@murphychurch8251 I also grew up around not one, but two very grumpy African Greys, and I never once saw them play together like this, or even play at all. They didn’t like each other and had to be kept separated most times. They both only liked my stepmom, and pretty much hated everyone else, which is fairly normal for African Greys. They’re “one person” birds. This is very unusual behavior for an African Grey, in my experience.
This is the first time I've seen birds wrestle like this... there's something really clumsy and funny about their play fighting.. with occasional words spoken
I love how bonded they are with each other now.... it's so sweet. Love these birds. Apollo's "OoohhHH" and watching Soleil + Ophelia waddle around always makes my day.
Bolt cutters, which is worse. Parrots can learn to be very gentle with their beaks, but the potential is there for tremendous harm. It's why you usually don't allow large parrots and small ones to interact. The size difference between Apollo and the caiques is minor enough that they might learn to play together successfully with close supervision.
@@klatuk4u1 My parakeets like when I play and tickle them. Except for my oldest boy, his bite is agonizing, I think he bites just as hard as he can. He has drawn blood. Maybe it's a dominance thing?
They are so sweet and gentle together but i love that you guys pay so much attention to know to separate them when they get "too excited". Thanks for being such great bird owners 😊
How can you tell when enough is enough, or when one of the girls/Apollo might be getting too rowdy? I can't read bird body language, so when I saw you guys refereeing their little match I wasn't sure what gave it away that they might take things too far.
In a previous video about Apollo being horny, they said there's a low sound he makes that's hard to pick up on the camera, and he drops his wings in a specific subtle way. He also regurgitated food which is what I think happened at the end there.
@@hopesprings4967 Parrots in captivity have what my vet calls "conditions of abundance" regarding food and safety, so they often tend to be hormonal much more of the year than they normally would in the wild. It's important to learn to control this by altering environment and correcting behavior. It's for the bird's own wellbeing, since continuous hormonal arousal can cause serious medical problems, especially for females. My own lovebird hen has advanced endocrine disease as a result of this (she's a rescue and we think was used as a breeder bird), and she suffers from gout and a general frailty in her legs that makes it uncomfortable for her to perch. She lives in a modified cage with a soft bedded floor and no perches.
I like how while they can get pretty rough, they're always careful not to poke an eye out and you stopped it at the end when it got close to that point
the way ciaques play is so wholesome to me and seeing an african grey try to play like that is so ADORABLEEE. i love animals adapting to other breed behvaiours
Wow, does anyone know whether African grays usually act like this? I'd never seen something like that; it seems that Apollo has picked up this typically caique behavior of play-fighting! It's like a cultural transmission, I'm impressed lol Smart boi
Parrots learn social behaviors partly by observation. It can be confusing sometimes if you raise a lovebird among budgies, and then the lovebird only speaks "budgie" and other lovebirds are like "I don't understand this weird lovebird".
@@annehaight9963omg yes! We have been so terrified of our conure learning to speak lovebird because it is LOUD, but I mean, what you gonna do? They gonna learn regardless.
Very cute. I can't help but feel a little anxious watching such differently sized birds play, but I know its not your or their first rodeo, and you're keeping a very close eye on them. I'm very impressed by Apollo's patience!
Wow, so cool. As a human that wrestles other humans, it's so interesting that "wrestling" transcends... species? I love how they are so respectful in their wrestling too--they have the power to seriously injure each other, but they keep it in the play realm. Good job on the trainer to break it up when the play got a little too rough. Birds are fascinating..
I like how gentle he's with the sisters.
A gentle giant.
Exactly lol at first I couldn’t tell if he was bad at wresting/ scared or if he was just being nice not to hurt the smaller birds lol
Maybe it’s not that Apollo is gentle, it’s that the sisters are more aggressive
@@SolarisOG_apollo is a bird so, I’m not sure it’ll mind
@@modernist927I was watching the video and my first thought was, "Geez, those two are just little terrors!" 😂 The annoying little sister energy is strong with them.
I could easily see non avian dinosaurs being this goofy 100 million years ago
I love it when Apollo goes “ooh”
Me too!❤
Is that more like a Ric Flair "Woooo"? :D
Oooooooeooo
I love when he says “oo I got da”
@@verfuncht I LOVE IT WHEN SHE JUST LETS U TAKE IT
Apollo backing up and stepping on Ophelia’s face made me laugh. He’s so gentle with them, and he really does play like a caique
Bro help how can you tell the girls apart?
@@mathlete855 I have come to your rescue! Ophelia has darker skin around her eyes, and Soleil has lighter skin around her eyes.
In addition, Tory has stated that Ophelia tends to mind her own business while Solei is more outgoing. Most of the time it’s Apollo and Solei taking up the screen time
@@MrResin-xk2mf A gentlebirb indeed!!
atleast it didnt have you rolling on the floor 😒
"OOOH I GOT THEM!"
Lmao Apollo is such a little dork, learning so much from you guys
0:48 😂
You can really tell how careful Apollo is not to hurt the caiques! He seems to know that he’s bigger and needs to be gentle

@@Pepe-pq3om Usage is meaning.
I never realised birds play fought in this way!
Caiques especially do
Its better than WWE Fights. This is like T-REX fight.
This is bad behavior to encourage. Size disparities end up with severed feet in birds
@@patrickglaser1560 from just play wrestling like this?
@@patrickglaser1560 they look pretty gentle to me

This is very unusual behavior for an African Grey, in my experience.
He may have gained some behaviors from them.
I love how Apollo enters the fray backwards with his foot on one of his sisters' heads. Reminds me of how I used to play-fight with my sisters 🥹
So humans and birds have some things in common, too😉.
cats do that with mice, back onto them and kick them
This is the first time I've seen birds wrestle like this... there's something really clumsy and funny about their play fighting.. with occasional words spoken
They are so funny and so precious. We all adore Apollo and his sisters.
Apollo even rolls over like a Caique 😍😍😍 what an amazing bird!! And what a wholesome video 🥰♥️
ive never seen birds so happy, this is what happens when you actually take care of your animals
It's hilarious when they grab each other's feet!
😂😂
* Apollo barfs *
Hold on there, Romeo.
LMFAO
I love how bonded they are with each other now.... it's so sweet. Love these birds. Apollo's "OoohhHH" and watching Soleil + Ophelia waddle around always makes my day.

I'd want Soleil on my team at any fight, anywhere. That girl brawls. 🥊😁
Does Apollo think he is a slightly oversized and somewhat monochrome caique? 😂 I have never seen an African Grey play like that!
Apollo cutting a classic Ric Flair "Woooo".
I love the little "come on" apollo says at the beginning, big dudes trying to pick a fight 😂
I understand how gentle they can be, but I always saw a parrot's beak as a pair of scissors, and this makes me very nervous :D

They are friends and family!!! It’s nice to have more than one bird for them.
They are so sweet and gentle together but i love that you guys pay so much attention to know to separate them when they get "too excited". Thanks for being such great bird owners 😊
I'm surprised Apollo is playing with them, since wrestling is a Caique thing!
Are Caiques the only ones that wrestle like that?
It's actually really funny watching Apollo try to play that way, since he's twice their size.
@@Gyarren as far as I know they are. It can confuse other birds.
@@GyarrenGreen cheek conures do too. Ours wants the lovebird to wrestle with her. Love bird does not want. It's...complicated. XD
@@becominghero9754 Lol! Do they get along otherwise?
I saw him start to regurgitate to her. yup, toooo excited, time for a break 😅
At the very end? Can't pick it up very well.
whats wrong with that?
It means he sees his sister as a mate lol
@@kadeemodemene2130 thanks for explaining I couldn’t figure out what changed.
0:30 "c'mon" Apollo trash talks
Was that Apollo?!
@@clnrrrYeah, imitating a woman! It’s impressive but they can mimic the tone too.
Soleil & Ophelia are fiesty. I love how gentle Apollo is with them.
Gotta teach him, "can you smell what the Shrock is cooking"
Waiting for Apollo to say "Made of feathers!"
A couple times he almost said "Oh I got da bird"
lol Solei is so sassy! She definitely thinks she’s the queen.
Sounds like he said "Oh boy got them!"
Stickin his leg out so Sissy could bite it lol Apollo you are a true Big Bro ❤The Owl sound was so Cutes!!! Love too All ❤️
Your birds are beautiful, stunning, funny, intelligent and their behaviour is a credit to your 'parronting' skills.
Puppies with feathers! Adorable 😍🐦💚
Teach Apollo to say “HADOUKEN!!”😂
He's so gentle with them. It's sweet.
Apollo was so cute with how he sounded around 0:58...
I can imagine Apollo doing the wrestling beak-locking thing and saying "metal"
That was awesome! I never knew birds play fight like cats/dogs. Good job stepping in while things were still fun.
I lost it when Apollo said "c'mon" 🥺🥺
Just like Jurassic Park
fr
The new Jurassic Park movie looks great!!
Apollo, Soleil & Ophelia must've had a real blast...
Apollo's such a good boi! He plays so gentle with the little girls.

@@TenshiLove5 Thanks, I was coming to ask this same question
@@TenshiLove5 Ah, I never saw that video. Thank you!
The smaller bird started hesitating, at the end, as if she was a bit overwhelmed. I think she was tired and a bit unable to cope with anymore.

Its funny how Apollo is aware the size difference and is making a concerted effort to not be too rough.

I love how you give the birds time and space to just fold out their behaviour and not step in all the time.
Apollo is holding back his true power
I didn't realize birds play like puppies! You know them well enough to know when enough is enough! Great "parenting".
Apollo to the girls.. *I’ma just gonna stand on your little beady heads*
Apollo grumbling around 0:05 is so cute!...
It's the loveliest fight I've ever seen. 🥰☺️
He’s learned from them and tries to roll over like they do
They’re adorable but Apollo needs to learn not to walk on little ladies 😂
I've Never seen an African Grey play like a Caique❗️
Apollo the Giant, the wrestling legend!
he is so smart to imitate how they play

Alternate universe Apollo: her leg tastes like pistach 🥺
But girls were a little rambunctious, but I love how Apollo knows he is so much bigger and he is much gentle with them.
Translation: they’re siblings.
From what I can tell about the end of the video, if they're siblings, then Apollo is from Alabama
Apollo is like: HEY THERE IS NO FIGHTS WITHOUT APOLLO
Very cute. I can't help but feel a little anxious watching such differently sized birds play, but I know its not your or their first rodeo, and you're keeping a very close eye on them. I'm very impressed by Apollo's patience!
this is the cutest wrestling match I've ever seen
Apollo is so gentle. My bird is like a little raptor.
They remind me of Merry and Pippin taking on Boromir 😅 «For the Shire!»
You know: It would have been hilarious to hear him go "This is cork!" Then bop the crap outta one of them with it.
All this is missing is some Jim Ross commentary :)
Attack of the cuties.
0:01 butt in the air, back it up, reverse kick-grab
apollo is a ninja master
"I'm going to get me a little drum stick". So cute and sweet birdies having fun.
I love the “ooh” that Apollo did LOL

Those funny sky dogs are at it again.
I've come to the conclusion that parrots enjoy discovering textures with their peak
Какие милые😊
That is the cutest thing i have seen in a while
such powerful beings cannot be let loose
Apollo with the curb stomp. Woo
Never seen birds wrestle, wow
Awww play fighting that's cute. Sibling squabbles.
Wow it's amazing how they can interact with each other despite being of different species
This is so cute 😂
literally one of the best videos on the internet right now, that made my day
Apollo getting absolutelly owned by tiny birds
Lil bro was going for that single-leg takedown
Love them all ❤😂😅🥰😘😘😘
he is so carefull, good big brother
So cute 😍
Apollo is the best big brother
More Like A Boss Battle With Apollo lmao these girls can’t defeat the power of glass and shrock combine

This reminds me so much of "K'eyush the Stunt Dog" and his BFF "Sherpa" play-fighting in several Y-T videos.
Oooh!🤓 that is so fun to watch. Apollo jus steps on her face🤭💕
They play just like dogs. So cute and fascinating :D
I never thought birds would play fight. It’s hilarious!😂
