<p>I called his owner/researcher before. I knew this parrot for years. I google-stalked him. And I always thought he was healthy. </p>

<p>This is emotionally heartbreaking...</p>

<p>Alex was a very cool little dude. To see him in action, go to <a href="http://www.pbs.org/saf/1201/video/watchonline.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.pbs.org/saf/1201/video/watchonline.htm&lt;/a> (scroll down to play the "Entertaining Parrots" video).</p>

<p>I had played with Alex before. One of my friends was one of the lab workers who took care of him. Neat little guy, but he did live a full life.</p>
