African Grey Parrot

Book Review Imagine a world where you can talk to an animal, and that animal will then talk back to you. That world is real, and the animal is an African Grey Parrot. Irene Pepperberg wrote a memoir called, Alex & Me. This book is about Pepperberg’s experiences and hardships studying birds, in particular a bird’s ability to talk and understand words, and her growing relationship with one bird. This bird was named Alex, and he was an African Grey who died at a young age of thirty-one years old.

Alex and me has lots of educational bits, that help the reader understand the hardship that Pepperberg went through as well as facts about the study of birds and how much they really…
