The parrot will talk no more

This blog is proud to announce that Alex the parrot is dead. Alex, an African grey parrot, has been the subject of study of scientists and Brandeis University for 30 years.

Why is it a good thing the bird is dead? While Alex was an animal, he was also a talking parrot known for his intelligence. He could talk to his handlers and other parrots in English. It was only a matter of time before he got his parrot friends to rise against the scientists.

And so, we feel there is no reason to investigate why Alex died of unknown causes.
