Great examples of the cognitive abilities our Greys possess. BTW - Spelling out words to hide what you wish to say secretly works with dogs, not greys.

I had followed ALEX's progress for some years and when he died it was like losing a treasured friend and I had never even met him! How much harder must it have been for Irene.

Anyone who has had or has a parrot as a companion knows they are far more than simply a pet. No animals sentience or intelligence should ever be taken for granted or underestimated.

Thanks so much Dan for sharing this with us, we as grey owners know how amazing our birds are and it was sad news for all of us when Alex died.
