A 31-year-old talking animal, known for his one-liners and grasp of over 100 English words, created a black hole between the worlds of fantasy and reality when he died last week of natural causes.
And he was only a parrot.
The world knew him from scientific journals and television shows alike. He appeared in news articles and worked with a comparative psychologist from Brandeis University and Harvard. Alex, the African gray parrot, established himself in the community as an entertainer as well as a science project--and people wanted to know if there could be others like him.
