Helpful Score: 3


This first-hand account from Irene Pepperberg summarizes the 30 years she spent doing cognitive and language research with Alex - an African Grey Parrot.

The book is somewhat slight...there's not a lot of meat here, however followers of Alex's endeavors and Pepperberg's studies - along with animal and bird lovers will find interest in its pages.
