Alex the African Grey Parrot

When animal psychologist Irene Pepperberg entered a Northwest Side pet shop in 1977 and purchased an exuberant one-year-old female african grey parrot grey parrot named Alex She began a 30-year experiment that changed how we perceive the intelligence of birds. Her research with him has challenged the belief that birds only mimic human speech, without any understanding of what it means.

What is Alex?

At first, Alex (short for Avian Learning Experiment) was a normal African grey casco parrot for sale bought from an animal retailer. However, throughout his life, he led trails in animal psychology that were above anything that was thought to be possible, and he proved that animals can be as intelligent as primates or dolphins. In 2007 when he passed away, Alex was one of the most famous talking birds in the world, appearing on television shows and scientific reports.

In his lifetime, Alex learned over 150 words and could recognize shapes, colors, materials, and quantities of objects. He also knew the meanings behind words, a feat which was uncommon for birds. When he heard the word "grape" and he realized that it was not a vegetable, but it was a fruit. This was due to the way that Dr. Pepperberg taught him words. She and a colleague would play the roles of teacher and student. Alex observed and listened. He was awarded for correct pronunciation and definition by receiving the object that went with the word.

Another fascinating aspect of the method she taught Alex was that she taught him the meaning behind words rather than just the sounds. This was a revolutionary method, since pet parrots usually only learn words to enhance their novelty. The owners don't care about what they say when they use a certain word. However with Alex, when he said a certain word, he truly meant what he was saying.

Some scientists argue that it is not fair to make comparisons between Alex with humans in terms of intelligence. They pointed out that while Alex could communicate, he wasn't proficient in using logic phrases like "if x then y."

Alex's past as a parrot at an animal shop was not remarkable however, it served him well. He was quick to grasp concepts and words from his human trainer, Irene Pepperberg. Her thirty-year study of him changed the way we think about animal cognition and communication. She was credited by Alex for instructing her to employ the model, which proved to be effective in other animals and children with learning disabilities.

Dr. Pepperberg continued her research with other parrots african grey for sale as well, including Wart and Griffin. She is now a professor at the University of Washington and continues her pioneering research with birds.
