i've been watching mash, so please enjoy this three-minute clip of alan alda interviewing my former boss, being utterly delighted by alex the parrot, and successfully making alex jealous over a spoon
i shortened it for tumblr, but the full segment (13 minutes) is here
Irene Pepperberg was born on April 1, 1949. A scientist noted for her studies in animal cognition, particularly in relation to parrots. She is well known for her comparative studies into the cognitive fundamentals of language and communication, and she was one of the first to work on language learning in animals other than human species (exemplified by the Washoe project), by extension to a bird species. Pepperberg is also active in wildlife conservation, especially in relation to parrots.

Dr. Irene Pepperberg!
I walked into the vet clinic for the workshop and started talking to the group of people closest to me, getting the impression that Dr. Pepperberg hadn’t arrived yet. We gossiped about bird behavior for a while and I kept thinking “huh this person in particular really knows her stuff”, but then she mentioned a couple of times that one of her previous birds was named Alex, and, uh, yeah, it wasn’t a coincidence lol.
