rest in peace, alex

Some of you know my personal interest in interspecies communication. Well, one of the pioneers in that arena has died. Alex, an African gray parrot, was definitely a pioneer and a leader in complex interspecies communication and he shared that space with just a very few other non-human animals.

Alex was 31 years old.

Sad...I really loved hearing about and watching video of Alex. From what I understand, that's too young for an African Grey. I also love the way he ended his days with some variation of, “You be good, see you tomorrow. I love you.”
