His name’s Apollo. He’s my asshole.

Once in a while, when he’s not made of pure rageohol, he can be cute. Maybe.

The best bird ownership experience is to befriend someone with a pet bird.

I can't imagine having a pet that requires an actual, high-effort social life. way too much work

It's easier when the social life involves purring and scritches

He's got that 'I'm about to fuck your shit up if you get any closer' look

Lol

I like how two of the pictures he looks like he's screaming at you. The last one he looks happy.

The last one he looks happy.

If only. That's the "I'm agitated and I will bite your fucking finger if you come even the slightest bit closer" look.

Crest slicked back = "agitated"
Beak open = "I will bite"

His personality is jumping out of the photos.

Just don't put a hundred thousand pictures of him on the internet so the NSA can spy on him

Edit: Or do. I'm not the boss of you (and I'm not so big) 🤷🏻
