Topic: Was Alex the Parrot aware that he was going to die?

+ Anonymous A — 3 weeks ago #12,270

Because I watched Nova Science Now last night and they talked about Alex, the African Grey Parrot.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_(parrot)

His last words were apparently, "I love you."

Considering how his intelligence matched that of a human child. Is it possible that he might have been aware that he was dying and said "I love you" to his owner?

Was he aware of his own death?
