32、 didnt want other scientists to say that she bad intentionally chosen an especially smart bird. Given that Alexs brain was just the size of a walnut, most researchers thought Pepperberg communication study would be futile.But with Pepperberg patient teaching, Alex learned how to follow almost 100 En
33、glish words. He could count to six and had learned the sound for seven and eight. But the point was not to see if Alex could learn words by heart.

34、 a green cup for him to look at. “Whats the same? she asked. “Co-lorJ Alex responded without hesitation. “Whats different?” Pepperberg asked. Shape J Alex quickly replied.
