Oh I love Alex, he's great! keep meaning to buy the alex studies but i've heard it s full of a lot of 'statistics' which isn't that interesting.
Just shows how brainy our pets really are - but we knew taht already right:thumbup:

What a remarkable parrot. I've seen him in action on other videos. He's astounding.

Thanks, You guys!! It IS amazing all that he knows! These abstract concepts just blow me away! We DO know they are smart, but WOW!

Wonderful!

I love to read as much as I can about Alex. I am so glad the University has funded his project for all these years.

Thank you, for sharing it.

cool article Kim :thumbup: You know I love anything that has to do w/Greys :D


yup, that'll be my Akeela someday :p :p hehehe She can already count to 5 (guess I can teach her the #0 too lol), but also need to show her the association in objects. ;) I use my fingers as I count, hoping someday she will recognise 'how many" I'm holding up, hehehe

They sure are a smart and fun species!!! :agree:

It really IS neat, isn't it?! He is INCREDIBLE!!!!


Hugs!
