Alex & Me by Irene M. Pepperberg
4.0
I actually read this book in one day a couple weekends ago.
I loved it. I only superficially knew about Alex and Irene Pepperberg, and this memoir of their time and work together was really interesting.
Be prepared to cry, though. The entire first chapter consists of Ms. Pepperberg's recounting of the aftermath of Alex's early death.
I was disappointed not to find out what Alex had died of. Ms. Pepperberg alludes to having an autopsy done on Alex, but she doesn't tell us what was his COD.
If you're interested in animal behavior, the science of psychology, or birds, you need to read this book. It is an eye-opening read into what it takes to be on the cutting edge of animal and human behavior.
