Post: Alex died

Posted by Marilyn on 9/11/07

I heard today that Alex, the African Gray from the
University of Arizona (I think that's right) passed away.
I feel like I lost a friend. His human co-workers found
him dead in his cage on Thursday but didn't let word out
until today so they would have time to grieve. Over 30
years, Alex taught his researchers (and friends) much of
what's known about avian brain and thought potential. I
haven't written on a parrot chat board for years even
though I have two Amazon parrots I love dearly. I will
miss knowing Alex is around and wanted to share that with
people who might miss him too.
