He'd actually had a check-up a week before his death, and he was A-okay. It's strange.

his last words were "you be good, i love you" so i think he was treated well :)

all he did was learn and train and all that. seperate your emotions from your research? YOUR AN IDIOT YOU CAN DO BOTH REWARD THE FCKING BIRD LITTLE RETARD YOU SHOULD BE ARRESTED FOR ANIMAL CRUELTY!

hey guys check out my channel for my african grey parrot :)

I think he was worked a little to hard. I mean did he have days, weeks, off? How much affection did he get?

a bird should not be a colleague it should be a friend or a sometimes even a baby this is just sad
I think all these accusations of mistreatment are probably groundless. Highly intelligent parrots like Alex benefit from constant attention and stimulation which is exactly what he got in these experiments. He was probably also given plenty of leisure time. I'm sure Irene loved Alex and took good care of him.

Chase, she couldn't treat him as a friend because with friends our human emotions come into play during our interactions with them. by treating him as a colleague she was better able to keep her emotions out of the equation and conduct her research objectively without emotional bias
