When presented with a new object, parrots may experience panic. This is known as neophobia. (yewtu.be)

Alex the Parrot recently flipped the fuck out when someone tossed a tree branch with a plushie of some kind attached to it into his backyard. His owner had to throw it into a fire to get Alex to calm down.

Something exactly the same happened to Apollo the African Gray.

Derp I got my parrots mixed up. You're right it was Apollo, not Alex lol

Lol I thought it was such a huge coincidence, but I didn't know about the plushie detail, so I didn't think much of it.
