You're only a week late in reporting this. And this isn't really the place to be posting such an announcement. Its more for forums. Because we can't give you an ANSWER to your question other then "Yes." (Or "no" depending.. )

They also don't have a definative reason for his death, he was only 31.

alex died O.O

wow. now that is a shame, that bird helped us realise so much into how the minds of parrots work, and helped show their true intelligance. wow. that is a real shock!
poor thing

i saw a video of him in action somewhere, where the lady held out 4 keys each a different colour and made froma differnt material, she would ask hte bird to point out say the orange one, and it would go straight to it, if asked to find the metal one, it would go along them all and touch each with his beak to try and identify the metal. it was amazing.

ive been after the book of the alex studies for ages lol, i love his story, i have a grey myself and after seeing that showed me jsut how amazing they truly could be.
