"You be good. I love you," were Alex's final words to his owner, research scientist Irene Pepperberg, before his premature death at age thirty-one on September 6, 2007. An African Grey parrot, Alex had a brain the size of a shelled walnut, yet he could add, sound out words, understand concepts like bigger, smaller, more, fewer, and none, and he disproved the widely accepted idea that birds possess no potential for language or anything remotely comparable to human intelligence. Alex & Me is the remarkable true account of an amazing, irascible parrot and his best friend who stayed together through thick and thin for thirty years—the astonishing, moving, and unforgettable story of a landmark scientific achievement and a beautiful relationship.

我愛灰雞。
评分同意書中所說，我們不瞭解其他動物的語言，不等於我們比它們高級或更聰明。
评分Being the ego-driven humans we are, it has long been suggested that our ability for speech is a wholly unique and defining characteristic of our species. But this notion is based on the belief that parrots can mimic human speech through a combination of whistles that are fundamentally different from the human vocal chords.
评分Alex'死前對Irene說的最後一句話是："You be good. I love you,"至此，潸然淚下。
评分很好的故事。
