5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT AND THOUGHT PROVOKING READ, 9 May 2009
By Masscharis Peter "Peter arctophile" (Boechout, near Antwerp, Belgium) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Alex & Me: How a Scientist and a Parrot Discovered a Hidden World of Animal Intelligence--And Formed a Deep Bond in the Process (Paperback)
This book provides a wonderful insight in animal intelligence, but at the same time gives a personal account of a scientists struggle to get her work appreciated and the bond created between (wo)man and animal.

I even had to shed a tear when Alex suddenly died.

Highly recommended for anyone interested in animal psychology.

5.0 out of 5 stars science behind parrot story, 20 Mar 2009
By D. E. Filipowicz "wywroota" (Bristol, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Very well written and interesting story about life venture of Alex the parrot and Dr. Pepperberg. Dr. Pepperberg describes difficulties, successes and emotions that accompanied her on the track of exploring and discovering cognitive abilities (and personalities) of African Greys.
Story about truly amazing parrot and very determined and dedicated scientist.
--- --- ---
Alex learnt to use several English labels to name and describe the environment. He could distinguish and name colours, numbers, objects, materials they were made of and knew how to manipulate people by use of social phrases.
Alex died in September 2007.
