What's Alex's story? Couldn't find anything about him on the website except that he was involved in some kind of language training. Was he a rescue bird? If so, what were the circumstances of his rescue? How old was he? How large was his birdy vocabulary, etc.?
I'm sorry you lost him. I know how attached people can get to their birds. My brother has owned one for twenty years. That bird hates almost everybody except my brother, and for some strange reason, me.
