Description
In a St. Petersburg house, there is a living room filled with play toys belonging to a precocious preschooler, named Apollo. The four-year-old African Grey parrot is a Guinness World Record holder.
“He identified 12 things in three minutes, and that’s including snack breaks. Typically it’s four questions for a pistachio,” Apollo’s owner Dalton Mason said.
From glass to paper to rocks, socks and a Shrek figurine, Apollo speaks perfect English.
“There are so many instances where you can tell he’s thinking, observing,” Dalton said.
