The Alex Foundation was established to support research on psittacine intelligence and communication. The Foundation provides funding for Dr. Irene Pepperberg's work with three African Grey's - Alex, Griffin, and Arthur aka "Wart." Dr. Pepperberg has developed training techniques that enable Grey parrots not only to produce but also comprehend and use English speech appropriately. Dr. Pepperberg has also shown that these birds can perform as well as chimpanzees and dolphins on many tasks used to evaluate intelligent behavior. The hope is that demonstrating that parrots are sentient beings will encourage responsible pet ownership, conservation efforts and veterinary research into psittacine diseases.
This list's purpose is to provide you with Dr. Pepperberg's speaking schedule and fundraising events, and other special announcements. Also visit the Alex Foundation web site
