Alex showed a surprising ability to learn.For example,when he was shown a blue paper circle.he could tell what color the paper was.what shape it was,and after touching it,what it was made of.
Like other parrots,he also picked up some words when staying in the lab,like“calm down”and“good morning”.He could also show his happiness and sadness.
Even before the week he died,Alex was working with Irene on difficult words.As she put him into his cage for the night that Thursday,Irene said that Alex looked at her and said,“You be good.See you tomorrow.I love you.”
