Chet mentioned how Alex had inspired him:


"This bird was the entire reason I got
interested in the process of teaching parrots
to talk. In fact it's what inspired me to
create my talking course for parrots."


Mommy, also had read all about Alex before adopting me, had seen videos where Alex counted, described colors and objects, and truly amazed his viewers.


Our hearts go out to the owners, researchers, and all who loved this amazing bird.
