  • Saw his show this winter at the indoor theatre they have, this guy is 30 years old! It's weird to think that I've been going to the zoo about once a year since elementary school and it's the same ol' Alexander doing his thing now as it was back then!

  • Hello! If you would like information on the real ALEX

  • HEy, that's the Minnesota ZOOOO!

  • Fuck u hope u die

  • hey dont go replying at me saying bad words u fool... i was trying to defend the bird... ass!

  • soo can u feed u to your MOM u stupid ass

  • u ass

  • Alex Rest In Peace!!!!!!!!

  • Rest In Paradise Alex!

  • I just saw on yahoo news that Alex died!!! He was only 31 years old - very young for a parrot. Very sad. :(

  • I bet it was the stress of comprehension. Or maybe it was the way the study was done. Humans tend to die prematurely when they are out of their natural environment/social structure as well.

  • Agreed; there are FAR too many birds in captivity which cannot adapt to their surroundings and end up self-mutilating themselves. Alex was very cared for and even spoiled by humans..but perhaps more was needed than human compassion. Perhaps freedom is what exotic birds need to be TRULY happy. Very sad.

  • If he wanted to go somewhere else, he might have said so...

  • Nah its just you

    Wonder why the African Grey cant do all the sound affects the keeper keeps stuffing its face with treats

    poor keeper i think

  • is it just me or is the zookeeper chick HOTT?

  • just you

  • Maybe you're right and she's just hot with one T.

  • This is an EXTREMELY smart parrot! I saw a show once that featured this same parrot. He has a 500 word vocabulary, can discern colors, do simple addition (up to 10) and identify objects - basically some ability for abstract thought. I remember they offered a platter of various objects, and told him to choose the "four corner blue", Something they had never presented before. He chose a blue block!

  • this is not the same alex. the alex you saw on that show does not perform at a zoo, he lives at Brandeis University in MA.

  • That bird is amazing.
