    Cognitive Capacities of Animals in particular in this case of Parrots
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 30, 2013*

Although again due to the delay of my response , you may have even have forgotten that I ordered and received quitea while ago this book, which ,although I am not a biologist nor a psychologist , I found a quite interesting book . Although  I am a scientist but not a Specialist in the field , I have had several discussions with so called psycologists who ,contrary to my opinion, deny the intelligence ,be it more reduced than ours,of quite a number of animals Their degree of intelligence depends of course of the kind of animal , but the study of apes in this respect is well known The study of cognitive and certainly of communicative abilities of Parrots was for me quite new and interesting. I belong to the people who believe in the intelligence of animals and not in the exclusive wisdom of humans.Hence my interest in this book .Who knows how smart the animals  might become ,given enough time like we had.

    I picked it up so I might learn a little science which might help me to better understand my African Grey
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 26, 2017*

If you are looking for more than a series of scientific papers which read rather dryly, then perhaps this book isn't for you. I picked it up so I might learn a little science which might help me to better understand my African Grey, Buddy. To date, he hasn't yet responded to any of the techniques used in the book for training Alex, perhaps because he was already three years old when I bought him. Having said that, it does help me to be aware that he has cognitive capacities that far exceed the near-mindless ability to "parrot." Each time he says "hello" to me when I come home in the evening, or whenever he imitates my dog whistle while I am playing with the dog, it demonstrates that he is a sentient being, albeit on a different level.

    Excellent information, but ridiculously tough to read
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 7, 2005*

The work that Irene Pepperberg and Alex have done is incredible, and this book would be fascinating if the "Notes" were included in the text and the references were footnoted at the end of the book or at the bottom of the page.  While the use of APA style substantiates the credibiltiy of her research and increases the book's value as an intellectual property, it is difficult to find a complete sentence without multiple references cited in parentheses scattered throughout. This makes the normal "flow" of reading almost impossible, and unnecessarily compromises both enjoyment and ease of comprehension.  Definitely read this book if you're interested, but keep the aspirin close for the headache you're bound to get while trying to sort out the legitimate text from the references.
