Alex, with Dr. Pepperberg's help :), contributed greatly to our knowledge of psitticines and their thought processes. I don't know how many people outside of the aviculture community were aware of the studies that were done with Alex, but he showed that parrots are not "birdbrains", but extremely intelligent animals. He will be missed.
