According To Time Magazine, Alex's Last Words Were "You Be Good, See You Tomorrow. I Love You." This
According to Time Magazine, Alex's last words were "You be good, see you tomorrow. I love you." This statement was not made out-of-context; the New York Times reported Alex was saying goodnight to Dr. Pepperberg as she left the lab for the evening, as per usual. Later that night, Alex died.
This context does not in any way tarnish Alex's memory nor does it make the story any less sad and sweet. He died a quick and unforeseeable death; the only theory that the full quotation might serve to disprove is that Alex was psychic. He was a incredible, brilliant individual, and though other parrots may one day learn to do what he accomplished, there will never be another like him. Regardless of whether or not he truly possesses "language", he and Dr. Pepperberg present one of the most successful examples of inter-species communication, ever.
The lesson to be learned here is that if you're quoting a parrot, you should at least do as well as he did to copy words correctly.
