Apollo the African Grey Parrot: A Color-Identifying Genius
Apollo, a three-year-old African Grey parrot, living in St Petersburg, Florida, has been homeschooled by his humans since he was eight months old. Videos posted on social media showcase Apollo's learning progress, as he demonstrates knowledge of colors, shapes, materials, and more. Using training methods like the "model/rival" program and operant conditioning, Apollo's humans aim to make him the smartest animal ever. They treat him like a child to explore his cognitive abilities and compare them to other intelligent species.
