π¦β¨ Apollo the Parrot Breaks Record: 12 Objects in 3 Minutes! ππ§¦
π¦β¨ In an incredible feat, a parrot in Florida has broken a world record by identifying 12 objects in just three minutes! This four-year-old African gray, named Apollo, has wowed the world with his smarts. π§ π‘
π𧦠From books to socks, and even Mario from βSuper Mario Brothers,β Apollo can name them all! His proud owners, Dalton and Victoria βToriβ Mason, have trained him using methods inspired by renowned animal psychologist Irene Pepperberg, who worked with the famous parrot Alex. π¦π
βOnce Apollo started learning his first object labels, colors, and materials, we knew he had the potential to achieve incredible things, just like Alex,β the Masons shared with Guinness World Records. ππ€
πβ¨ Apollo isnβt just a record-breaker; heβs also a social media sensation! With 2.8 million followers on TikTok and 1.37 million on YouTube, heβs spreading joy and knowledge far and wide. π±π₯
The Masons hope Apolloβs achievements will change the way people think about animal intelligence. βOur mission is to spread awareness of the natural intelligence found in animals. We hope that our title can change the meaning behind the phrase βbird brain,ββ they said. ππ§
