Alex, Our Prince of Hearts
Over a decade ago, one of my CAG's Merlin and I traveled to Tucson to see Irene and meet Alex. Alex took a special "liking" to me, which was an honor since he usually preferred to court men. My Merle was horrified and put a stop to that... "That's MY human!" But ever since that first meeting, Mr. Alex has always had a special place in my heart.
God bless this little bird-man with an attitude that turned the science community upside down. To science, he will always be remembered as "that damn bird" because he always proved them wrong. To the rest of the world, he will be remembered as the Prince of Hearts, who showed us that animals are smart and they have feelings.
