On September 6, 2007, an African Grey parrot named Alex died prematurely at age 31. His last words to his owner, Irene Pepperberg, were "You be good. I love you." What would normally be a quiet, very private event was, in Alex's case, headline news. Over the 30 years they had worked together, Alex and Irene had become famous - two pioneers who opened an unprecedented window into the hidden yet vast world of animal minds.

Very Good Book about a Very Controversial Subject
Revisado: 01-20-09
What Irene and Alex Pepperberg did for Animal language understanding and comprehension is incredible. This book is a tale from the beginning of that change of mindset. The road to changing the minds of scientists of both allowing females doing serious research and changing the idea that animals do more than just react to stimuli, isn't an easy thing to travel. After listening to this book with all the things that Alex was able to do and teach, I would think that being called a bird brain wouldn't be an insult. We all have heard parrots say they want a cracker, but Alex showed us that they can understand what it means to actually want one.
