Alex & Me by Irene M. Pepperberg

3.0

---

Too much professor and not enough bird. More about her academic woes than I was really looking for, and a sense that she didn't think the reader could handle the real gritty science that she was apparently doing with the parrots. Just not top-notch memoir or science writing, alas. But yes, it did make me want to go to You Tube for videos of Alex doing his stuff.
