spookyhurst Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I posted this in another thread, but thought it might get missed there, so here's its very own thread . The first segment of the video is about how Alex has been trained, and he demonstrates his knowledge. The second segment is about a bird rescue, and the third segment is about how they're finding ways to entertain parrots (Alex has his own web browser that he can use to listen to music, watch videos, etc.). Scroll down to "Entertaining Parrots" to watch it (you'll probably have to cut and paste this very long link). http://www.pbs.org/saf/1201/video/watchonline.htm?user8=pbs-saf&template8=publishmain.html&query8=scientific+america n&squery8=squery%3D%252BClipID%3A4%2B%252BVideoAsset%3Apbssaf1201&select7=2670149&submit8=GO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danmcq Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Spookyhurst, That is an impressive Video. I have watched it several times along with a few others of Alex. The study that Dr. Pepperberg has been conducting for over 19 years with Alex and other Greys is very interesting to follow. If your interested for more information on Alex, you can go to their website: http://www.alexfoundation.org/index2.htm She will be speaking in a city about 45 minutes from us in November. Needless to say, we will be in attendance :-) You can check out the event calendar while your on that site to see if or when she may be close to your area.
