I am an avid reader and I have to say this is absolutely one of my favorite books I have ever read. It is incredibly heart warming. I was so touched by the story, I just had to send a thank you note to Dr. Pepperberg thanking her for sharing her story and she very graciously responded back. I highly recommend this book, the story and the love it brings through will stay with you forever!
What a heart warming and informative story! I have a Grey and it has helped me to understand more about him, to have a closer relationship with him, and for us to communicate better. I would highly recommend it to grey owners and lovers.
Nice Book

I always loved reading and hearing about Alex. This book discribed how the author began studying birds and got Alex. I enjoyed listening to this book on CD.
Kudos to the Bird!

Reading about Alex was a fascinating experience, marred only by the disorganized way the author chose to journey through the bird's life. It's still a good read, though.
