As you know, I went to Irene Pepperberg’s reading last night from her new book about her friend and colleague, Alex the African grey parrot. This is an interesting video interview with Pepperberg about Alex, shortly after he died [3:29]
Good timing on this video, I have been leaning more and more towards specializing in ornithology once I’ve finished my biology degree. I’ve always loved birds, especially parrots and corvids and seeing things like this really brings that home to me.
