The Alex Foundation
The
Alex Foundation was established to support research on
psittacine intelligence and communication. The Foundation helps
provide funding for Dr. Irene Pepperberg's work with African
Grey's - Alex, Griffin, Arthur aka ''Wart'' and Kyaaro. Dr.
Pepperberg has developed training techniques that enable Grey
parrots not only to produce but also comprehend and use English
speech appropriately. She has also shown that these birds can
perform as well as chimpanzees and dolphins on many tasks used
to evaluate intelligent behavior. The hope is that demonstrating
that parrots are sentient beings will encourage responsible pet
ownership, conservation efforts and veterinary research into
psittacine diseases.

Alabama Coastal Birding Trail, arranged as a series of loops,
describes the birding spots most frequented by Alabama birders.
Each loop could easily take a half day or more. Detailed
