Alex the Grey Dies at 31 September 10, 2007
Posted by Andrew in : African Grey , trackback
Sad news for the avian community this month - Alex the grey was found dead on last Thursday (Sep 6th) at the age of 31. Alex was closely involved in a program by the Alex Foundation and Dr. Irene Pepperberg. There is “no obvious cause of death”, according to the necropsy vet.
Much was learned from the research with Alex and the entire avian community will miss him immensely.

God bless you Alex and thank you for being among us R.I.P.
I am not familiar with Alex and his valuable contributions, but was moved by this news because my Cockateil, “Jocko”, will be 26 years young in October! I feel for Alex’s Handlers & Owner and know that I will take it pretty hard when Jocko’s time comes. I surfed the web this morning to try to get information that would help me to help Jocko with what i suspect is dry skin. For the past week he has been fussing and picking at the elbow of his right wing. I have increased his “Bird Showers/Spritzes” from onceto twice a day. If you have prior experience with is type of problem, PLEASE respond. Thank you much, Bonnie.
