Did the program you watched have Alex in it?

I've read a lot about him, he is an amazing bird..
Probably, I hate to admit it, but it was probably a[n] (urp) PBS science program (not that I would ever give money to them).
I know it was at least 2-3 years ago because I remember that I annoyed a bar owner friend who was talking up a cute zoologist woman, and I struck up a conversation with her about African Greys while he was attending to bidness.
After she left (alone, BTW), he came up to me and asked me how I knew so much about African Greys, and what the heck they were, LOL!
The name Alex rings a bell, which in and of itself is not a good thing. Remembering the name of a friggin' bird? I mean a bird with feathers, not one with short & curlies? What's wrong with me?
I'm so bad with names it takes me many repeat visits to remember bartendress or waitress names!
But I'm a science guy, so funny things stick in my head.
Thanks for the link, but me being me, I'm pretty sure I followed all the links about the program until my brain was satiated.
Thanks for the link however.
