I am seriously impressed by the intelligence of this parrot. - Alex

• Alex could count to 6,
• identify different colours.
• Speak to assistants and have conversations One of her last conversations was "You be good. I love you."

Parrots have the ability to remember words and replicate human conversation. however, the example of Alex suggests that the parrots words were more than just repitition. It is evidence that the avian brain has many similarities with the human brain.
