Alex & Me
by Irene Pepperberg
I absolutely loved this book! Being an African Grey parrot mom, I learned so much about their intelligence. Alex was an amazingly smart bird. I like that he was so witty and had the classic attitude I see with my bird. When I speak of Alex to my friends they cannot believe some of the things he said and did. What a special bird! His death was tragic and I couldn't help but cry. I feel he knew his time had come. Alex had so much more to do on this Earth. It's such a shame he left so soon. Alex has touched my soul and even though I never knew about his story until recently I will never forget him.
As for the author, Dr. Irene Pepperberg, I think she is a fantastic, patient research scientist. I do not think she was feeling sorry for herself when writing about her childhood. As for writing certain things in her journal I think she just simplified the day after long and tiresome training sessions. The book was written well. I would have liked to have had more Alex moments because his witty attitude made me laugh! I laughed and I cried. Well done Dr. Pepperberg.
