A wonderful short book for anyone who has a pet or is an animal lover. Pepperberg's research over many decades into animal cognition and language, with the African Grey parrot named Alex, reveals how complex animals really are and how little we know about them. Her actual research was written about in more depth in her book, The Alex Studies, but this book is more autobiographical and details the relationship she shared with this amazing bird. I love the part in the book when she describes the lessons that Alex taught her and in particular, "Alex taught us that we are part of nature, not apart from nature...humans are not unique, as we long believed. We are not superior to all other beings in nature."
