For Flapper’s bedtime story, we’ve been reading “Alex & Me” by Irene M. Pepperberg, PhD.
Irene spoke at a local bookstore tonight, and we dropped in to hear her speak about Alex. Here’s a video of Alex’s obituary on Good Morning America last year.
Flapper? I had Irene sign her book for you, buddy. It says “To Mr Flapper, With best regards. Irene & Alex.”
“Really? Aww thanks, Mom!”
It was great to hear Irene speak tonight and we wish her much success with her book, “Alex & Me.” Alex was a very special colleague who taught us all so much about birds. Special thanks to Alex for giving so much to his feathered friends.
