I am currently read a book entitled Animal Wisdom, about cognitive and other studies and what we are learning about animals brains and how they work. Because of a mix-up, there was a last-minute change this week for the radio show, and I needed to find someone to fill in. As there is a whole chapter in the book about African Grey studies, in particular, I ended up have Dr. Irene Pepperberg on the radio show, who has done completely fascinating work studying how parrots learn, and how they think, whether they understand numbers, etc. etc. I thought of all of you as I was speaking to her, and it turns out she is local to me! She works at Harvard and at Brandeis University, which are in my town (the latter) and a town away (the former). How cool is that? Once I get the audio files, would you guys want to listen? It is for All Paws Pet Talk Radio and I may even be able to have her on again sometime!
