ALEX

–“Be good, I love you.”

Then Alex the parrot looked sadly at his caregiver and added:

–“Will there be a tomorrow?”

And those were his last words before he died.

Alex: referring to the acronym for Avian Learning Experiment,

the most intelligent parrot in the world.

Alex the parrot developed the intelligence of a child

five years old and died at the age of thirty-one.
