3.0

My nano has led me to places I had no idea even existed. I heard Irene Pepperberg on The Moth which is a not-for-profit storytelling organization. I just discovered The Moth and I have enjoyed all the stories I have heard.

Pepperberg caught my attention because of the emotional content of her story. After listening, I wanted to know more about Alex and Irene. So off to the library catalog to request the book.

Because I was responding to the emotions of Pepperberg's story on The Moth, this book was not quite what I wanted. It is an excellent factual telling of Alex's life and work. I am not sorry I read the book - I had fun learning lots about parrots. I just wanted to know more about Irene's relationship with Alex and that was not the reason for the book.

I would recommend this to folks who enjoy about reading about the research about speech being done with animals.
