ALEX the African Grey Parrot

Today’s Feathery Friday animal is the African Grey Parrot and the most famous one ever was a bird named Alex. He was very adept at language and counting and picking out shapes and colors. Dr Irene Pepperberg worked very hard with Alex and learn all kinds of cool stuff about how birds think and behave! We’ve found some great videos that will give you a better idea of just how special Alex was! Check them out!
