Alex the smart parrot passes away

[bigbuddha0911]

or maybe the 5 people just disliked the death of alex.... ignorant sluts.

[andywattbulb]

God didn't do jack shit.

[andywattbulb]

parrot suicide.

[jessicatface]

God did not bring Alex... science did, evolution did, nature did and people did. Don't give credit where credit is not due.

[TheDJRockyB]

I just Lost my Parrot all of sudden.... he was just 25 ..and was extremely smart ......

[Dreadedification]

That stupid bitch never let him go back to his cage that's why he died

[FluffyFerret2000]

R.I.P Alex :(

[1f5sda]

I was bummed out when I read about Alex's death in a magazine. Alex, we will always remember you as a friend and an icon. Sweet dreams!

[birdstar01]

"go pick up corn" LOL

[happinesson]

i am at the peak of enjoyment watching Alex and realizes at the end that i am just watching part of the memories he lived behind when he passed away, I caught myself in tears.

[AnimalsSuperCute]

Love your video.

[TheBoyThatDied]

:"(

[constantinadina]

I guess he was tired.

[RectangularBird]

It's been 6 years. ): R.I.P. pretty bird.

[4321hubel]

;(

[HaniiPuppy]

Just the sheer innocence in his last words brings a tear to my eye.

[SuperMario431]

:,(

[greenbayd]

Alex must be smarter than the host, since I doubt he thought he'd go to heaven.

[johnnypink312]

I read this first in People's Magazine 1000 Greatest Pop Culture Moments, where it read: " "You be good; see you tomorrow. I love you." Alex, an African grey parrot whose facility with language startled scientists utters his last words and dies in his sleep at 31." and I wanted to cry, so I searched this up, and well, now I'm crying.

[N4melessS0ldier]

He finally got the chance to go back.... Stupid scientists who don't have any empathy....

[scotharrisonable]

@superdbzfan haha true

[SuperDbzfan23]

This bird was 10X smarter than justin beiber...

[miriammiri123]

imma cry right now

[SuperIntro]

5 people are so angry because of the parrot is smarter than them.

[m0j0101]

RIP Alex. you were among the greatest of gods creations

[FmMan33]

@m0j0101 Ahahaha, ahaha... oh ahaha, thanks for that, I needed a good chuckle.

[m0j0101]

@FmMan33 excuse my while i ignore you fail attempt to troll

[FmMan33]

@m0j0101 excuse my whale i laugh at you fail attempt to spell

[m0j0101]

@FmMan33 w/e at least i'm not feeding youre troll needs. as long as i'm not pissed off, you cant satisfy yourself on my anguish

[FmMan33]

@m0j0101 "Your troll needs," Fixed it for you.

[m0j0101]

@FmMan33 "'Your troll needs,' fixed if for you."

[m0j0101]

@FmMan33 awwww. did you award yourself a cookie? you deserve it. =]

[FmMan33]

@m0j0101 Yes, yes I did. Tasted pretty nice too. Want one?

[m0j0101]

@FmMan33 Thank you. you were right; this cookie is phenomenal. you should mass produce these goods and introduce yourself into the economy.

[FmMan33]

@m0j0101 Don't panic, I'm already setting up the company as we speak.

[m0j0101]

@FmMan33 two words: shitting genius

[spastic505]

No :(

[bigbadbeast2007]

so friggin sad!!

[DylzaLDBLAH]

See you tomorrow, love you... What good bird

[DylzaLDBLAH]

Awwww :(

[Alia24121997]

it was very yong 

[KCoombs445]

He was a good and very intelligent bird R.I.P

[charliemia64]

There is never a good enough reason for animals not to live in their natural environment, playing with nature is cruel and should be unacceptable, at least now Alex is at peace, probably the kindest place for him. God damn people who cage animals for their own satisfaction. I have caged birds purely because I rescued them, I wish I could set them free but they would not survive in an outdoor environment because of what people have done to them :( Instead I have to painfully care for them.

[NateSean]

You were smarter than your peers and the only thing they made you do tricks right up to the end.

I'm sorry Alex, your only mistake was letting nature's F student put you in a cage.

[NateSean]

You were smarter than your peers and the only thing they made you do tricks right up to the end.

I'm sorry Alex, your only mistake was letting nature's F student put you in a cage.

[respeanut]

looks like it has been ripping out it's own feathers- sign of stress.

[Tattookub]

@respeanut

"He", not "It".

Alex was a living soul with a personality, wants, needs, hopes and aspirations.

My belief system would require that I call him a HE...not lessen him, and call him an "It".

The only thing that makes me cringe worse than that is when I hear parents call their children "it". Trust me when I tell you that that happens with frightening regularity. 

[dontlookitsurface]

pick upp the corn XD

[ashleyohiogirl]

That's sad I was watching the husky say I love you til I saw this bird Alex in the Suggestion video's and hes way better than the husky I saw. It's really heart breaking that a sweet bird like that dies.

[the7letters11]

wen my parrot dies [ kevin ] i will make a tribute 2 him - starts crying-

[andrewdisplay]

5 people cant do what Alex can do!

[alexisanimelover]

rip alex

[RayKiZaRu]

I just found out about this amazing bird today and would like to see him further developed, unfortunately it died about 3 years ago on the day of my birthday. T_T

[LPSgirlSHK]

Awwww :(

[KarinasPets]

RIP Alex! my parrot died in 2007 2 :((

[PFXProductions]

WHY DO ALWAYS WATCH THIS..WHEN I KNOW I WILL CRY...OH alex was very sweet..I wish could i known him

[AshKilamande]

listen to just the audio of this video and dont watch it. imagine its a person. you will die of laughter.

[lambyiii]

I would have loved to have black researchers teaching them ebonics. Imagine that ghetto parrot!

[homer655]

fake!

[abhilashbose]

How did he died? A parrot can live more than 80 years.

[homer655]

@abhilashbose A drive-by shooting, or something gun related probably

[thewolffebros]

He counted the number of blocks faster than I did!

[Brady2k10]

tht stupid bitch talked him to death, should have left him alone for a while fucking retard

[SomeSortaBliss]

@Brady2k10 i SO AGREE WITH YOU BRO ITS ANIMAL IF IT SAYS IT WANTS TO GO BACK MAKE IT GO BACK DON'T FORCE IT LEARN MORE. iT JUST LIKE WEN school ends and you wanna go home but you have to stay longer for no reason.

[cuteamyn]

pick up the corn bitch haha

[lancidi]

almost cried...:'(

[disturbedashley2009]

lol i love it when he said to pick up the corn he dropped lol hahahahahaha

[IKurtC]

ah feel bad like back then when i knew about this... last year my parrot passed away aswell... still hurts me to remember... parrots are something else

[nellie2581]

Go Alex, belated RIP!

[sikend667]

1:02 "go pick up corn" lol you tell her alex!

[driden33]

i love this birt thats real einstein and i thing this bird is amazing!!! ciao alex the smart parrot. And have a good time by god!

[MazelOriginals]

i had my parakeet on June 24, 2008 - he died on February 22, 2010. I found out during school, and I sobbed in tears! I love animals, and I wish every living thing in this world goes to heaven. Except bad people.

[MazelOriginals]

I'm sobbing in tears now... Poor Alex! 8-(

I knew him at a young age, and he has passed away. It's already been two years now... but I know now that Alex is in a better place along with my own parakeet. :')

[TheLovemeorgo]

@MazelOriginals things go and return

[D2N00]

Atleast Alex met my beloved Carla probably.:')

[Bernerker]

i heard they could live up to 70

maybe his brain overloaded idk

i wish i had a pet like this

imagine how devastating it must have been for alex' owner when it happened

i thought einsteine(other african grey) was the smartest

alex takes the crown!

[lantz1992]

Pretty amazing stuff!

[otiscevans1]

You be good.See you tomorrow.I love you.

-last words of Alex

[QBisbest]

His last words were amazing.

[japesjake]

All of the words that parrots say are based on association. This woman is mistaking intelligence with coincidence. The phrase, "Go pick up corn", undoubtably had nothing to do with picking up corn from the ground, but probably was a phrase it picked up when the owner was speaking of picking up corn from the grocery store. It is easy to take one of the parrot's phrases and tying it into what is happening at the moment. I'm sorry. This bird isn't intelligent, everyone just wishes it was.

[japesjake]

@japesjake

Haha, I can't believe I just wrote this about a video that ends with "parrot heaven".

[plasticboob]

@japesjake You have Asperger's.

[iAmLucaz]

@plasticboob He´s actually right

[SrgtBarney]

@japesjake meh, i tend to be optimistic and say that this parrot and many other animals is capable of learning what we can. besides, we are animals ourselves

[TheDragonforcers]

@japesjake go f**k off!

[TheJacky1967]

@japesjake oi wanker ! its fact that the african greys are extremely intelligent, its a shame cant say the same for you,,,,,,,,,,,, your brains are in your pin dick... hanging between your legs!!!!! you dumb arse prick !!!!!

[RadcliffOfCrymod]

@japesjake Then explain this - How is it that a parrot that can only "mimic words" can tell you how many of a specific color object, or a specific shape of object, or both are on a tray, let alone what material an object is made out of? If you were to ask this bird what it wanted to eat, it would also tell you, and Alex would even apologize to her when he sensed that he upset her. That's kinda hard for an ordinary bird to do.

And Griffin is also doing the same thing. Last I heard, he was

[RadcliffOfCrymod]

doing just as good as Alex did, and she's now starting to go into territory with him that even Alex never knew about.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but both birds are displaying some of the same communicative capabilities as a small child would display.

[shankhat]

bitch give him treat or at least a shank

[Rarey209]

Cute

[karrezza]

If African grays live average of 60 to 90 years, why did it die at 31?

[MothMessage]

@karrezza

Heart attack, I think.

[TonyAKA30]

@awesomedude333 I'd enjoy nothing better but to shove some bird shit down your throat. YOU are a useless animal.

[karrezza]

@TonyAKA30 Did you see his site? All Anime! Maybe he will marry an Anime pillow!

[beccahday]

@awesomedude333 wow, what a grotesque embarrassment to humanity you are. you're not even as smart as the bird your hatefully attacking. how sad.

[karrezza]

@awesomedude333 Ah, a guy with a small penis.. Only guys with one act like this. Jealous of a bird! LOL. So easy to hide behind a fake name, You are a bird, you are a chickenshit! Ha! I guess I understand you being jealous of a bird that is smarter than you! And looks like got more love than you ever got too!

[karrezza]

@awesomedude333 Ah, a guy with a small penis.. Only guys with one act like this. Jealous of a bird! LOL. So easy to hide behind a fake name, You are a bird, you are a chickenshit! Ha! I guess I understand you being jealous of a bird that is smarter than you! And looks like got more love than you ever got too!

[motorbreath1983]

@karrezza It's not about the bird at all, he's just saying words to get attention.

[Eddiejo6]

@awesomedude333 you are failiure to mankind hope you die so we can call you an ugly fuck face hope you go to hell

[redtaily]

@awesomedude333 hows about you rot in hell you stupid fuck i actually met alex before he died and he was well nice and intellagent oh and your the worthless fuck head with no balls you stupid basterd whats ur problem u ugly shti alex was amazing

[RadcliffOfCrymod]

Wow, that bird was freaking smart. RIP Alex. You will be missed. :'(

[NarutoProductions7]

shes gey she gave no love or freedom for him treated him like shyt only for work what a cute asss parot

[Rachman1337]

that effing parrot was 31 years old?? :O

[sandraconvery1]

@Rachman1337 yes rachman1337 and they normally live till effing 60 yrs old

[StonyRC]

A light that burns twice as bright burns half as long - never more true than with Alex.

[drcooleo]

This bird died cause it was so stressed out with the overload of information

[DoubleDTwiceAsManyDs]

that is so sad........

[Kittylove5]

That's pretty short for a Parrot, I've read that they can live up to 70 years.

But anyway, he was a very smart bird and I'm sure he had a great home.

[raymondsuckmydick]

god bless alex..

[cablanton1]

Alex died on my birthday9/6 , 8 days before my father passed away on january 14, 2007 ...R.I.P.  You both will be missed.

[margarita606]

R.I.P

[freklfacejpgr]

Rest in peace, Alex!

[dmak2]

This bird is smarter than some people I have met.

[Arthur174]

@dmak2 Hahaha I know, the're retard and deaf and dumb who can't say 'corn' hahahaha XD

[fightliferockin]

to the news lady...

they're f'ing cubes!!! not squares.... XD

but Alex is truly amazing... i hope we see another like him.

[preciado43]

lol

[ravenoftheredsky]

1:00 Go pick up corn. DO IT NOW!

[firstrushNEO]

WOAHZ this parrot is awesomely epic!

[AlexanAllHerFriends2]

My name is alex

[Progota]

T.T

[Draconla]

Alex is my name.......but i am not a parrot

[xEmaEmsx]

haha

[enoughmoney]

She recalls the bird said: "You be good. I love you." She responded, "I love you, too." The bird said, "You'll be in tomorrow," and she responded, "Yes, I'll be in tomorrow."

i think alex knows that he is gonna die that night T.T

[1000MileLost]

Alex is smarter than some humans

[nocturnarboreal]

if he's so smart why'd he die

[EarthBolt100]

So your saying being smart extends life? Pfft. His exact cause of death is unknown at time of posting.

[rogerstan]

Very sad, this bird will be missed.

[Saverinator]

lol we read an article about this bird in english class today :D

[PhoenixFire1993]

That's freaking sad! Especially when he asked if she'd be in tomorrow and told her he loved her! What a sweet bird!!!

[YourFaceSucksAlot]

i knoew parrots lived long but 31!!!!???

[Flowdroid]

They can live a LOT longer than 31 years. :]

[EarthBolt100]

Yeah, up to 70. 50 is average.

[poojoojoo]

lol

[CristiaanC]

I HATE diane sawyer, she always likes to degrade everything with her sarcastic tone, and her STUPID comments.

[lusteraliaszero]

having a big vocabulary and understanding human commands (like DOGS).... = bird genious?

nomatter how a parrot is chained, i cant imagine it being smarter than a raven.

[CertainAsTheSun]

Except Alex could actually understand the questions and understood what he was saying, not just mimicing like other parrots. That's the impressive part.

[13penguinepooper13]

It had the intellect equivalent of a 6 year old child, thats pretty damn amazing for a parrot if you ask me

[GreyhoundLoverHere]

The poor Alex,....She lived her life in a freaking laboratory away from any other birds and VERY lonely just for some STUPID experiments.

[cyan1dedr3ams]

Alex is a dude, and the experiments are quite meaningful and in the name of good science. I'm sure they took good care of him and that he enjoyed the company of humans even though he probably should've gotten some interactions with the other parrots.

[jaradlune2004]

aww poor parot

[Derail07]

That was a stupid ass comment. You suck as a troll

[peekoispet]

wth that mean!

[zartastic101]

wow what the fuck is wrong with you? that's not even a little bit funny. go to a freaking asylum you crazy lunatic!

[alexbabycakes1]

Ew you disgust me

[chavo818]

That Is Sad

[TheAlienmatt]

"Pick up the corn bitch"

my god.

[peekoispet]

i cried when I heard his last words! "You be good Good night I love you"

[AirMan928]

@peekoispet me too :( he was such a smart bird.

[zimka747]

He have a long life.....if my home animal live this me 30 yers and die, i don`t now that i do! Тут кто нибудт русский понимает?

[Helenem55]

If this parrot was so smart, how come he didn't live the usual 60-80 yrs.??? How did he die?

why didn't he tell someone he was sick?

[PowerIsOwnage]

Age has nothing to do with intellect; in any way shape or form. Sure, you might be smart, but how does that affect your body? He was a parrot, not a medical doctor that could understand it.

[Ryoushi19]

Intelligence is not a guarantee of long life. Certain animals are likely to live longer than others. Some Sharks can live up to 100 years.

The fact is, people probably knew the bird was sick, there was just not enough they could do.

[markhorneyuk]

that is a smart parrot.

[OrangeAndBlack1000]

parrot was older then me!

[finaldoom887]

when i saw this i cried :(

R.I.P Alex! you will always be the smartest parrot to me

[28423455677]

aw omg i think i'm goin to cry tht's so sad i'm soo srry for ur loss cuz mine flew away ;'(

[billybonds007]

Ya animals have minds, you would be surprised how smart most animals are compared to what we think, not as smart as us but much smarter then you think.

[Bjork1988]

he is so cute :]

[lucky5orange]

He obviously had a good understanding of the words he was saying so he wouldn't have told her he loved her unless he really meant it. The Night before he died he said "I love you."

[Soverax]

I'm absolutely sure he did. "I wanna go home" convinced me the other way around. If they had filmed the "I love you bit" and give some visual proof, I would be more convinced of that fact. Since they offer none, though, I'll stick to my opinion.

[Misspepperoni90]

Stop being so naieve, that parrot was pampered and looked after incredibly well. He was worth a lot to her and her research team. I've owned and looked after parrots and in knowing more about them I can tell what they were doing was hardly "sensless" or difficult for him in any way. Try refraining from buying makeup or leather coats... now that is REAL animal cruelty.

[Soverax]

Two things:

1) If you're trying to present an answer in an intelligent sort of way, try spelling the words correctly.

2) I don't buy leather or makeup, for your information, and I am against animal cruelty.

What was done there was pure experiment. Look at it that way, if you were grown and taught in an artificial environment, you'd see the people around you in a different way than if you were snatched from your natural habitat. Taking the freedom away from a creature is senseless and difficult.

[Tattookub]

I don't need any proof. I have a Grey sitting across the room from me right now. I am #1 in his world, and he is #1 in mine. He "tolerates" others, but could easily do without them. He was 7 yrs. old when I got him. He is now 14. He never bonded with the woman that raised him. He instantly bonded with me. Figure it out.

[Soverax]

Oh Gosh. The youtube war rages on. I have a doberman. Another 20000000 in this world might have dobermans. Some of them go crazy and kill their owners. You got a mentally ill parrot. Enjoy the bonding! Take care.

[Tattookub]

Greys need at least 2 to 3 hours EVERY DAY out of their cages, and in your company. Greys do have the tendency to have a bit of an attitude from time to time. They're GENERALLY not as loving as a Cockatoo, but are much more personal than a Macaw. BUT - I got lucky. Conrad, my Grey is as loving, attentive and as intelligent as he can be. He has never once tried to bite me, and if you know Greys, that is an accomplishment. I am, indeed, a lucky African Grey Parrot owner.

[Tsuguayme]

The parrot really said "See you tomorrow, I love you" before he died? That's really depressing. D: So sweet. Poor thing.

[plaguemann]

That is not depressing, that is cute . It was depressing if they were mad on each other before he died .
