As it turns out, the African Gray Parrot who "understood" and "spoke" english has died today. His name was Alex and I've been following his career since I first read about him back in 2000 (when I took my first psycholinguistics course).
Farewell Alex. You will be missed (mostly by overeager news hounds with a penchant for misreporting scientific items as well as your owner who will now be looking to train a new member of your species)
