Well the colors, shapes, sizes and other textures thing is obvious...of course animals can tell the difference! They just don't communicate it to us. The counting thing is something most animals are incapable of, however. So, good job mr. parrot. Now, do my taxes.
What Alex lacks in looks he makes up for in brains. I mean yikes! What a bad lookin' bird.
Also, what a hack job at the end to make it look like he got that block thing right. Previously there was a story of a horse that could "count". It couldn't actually. It was picking up on cues from its trainer about when to stop. Wouldn't be surprised if something similar was going on here.
Returning to how bad lookin' that bird is, are his wings cut? Anyone else picturing that woman as Kathy Bates from Misery?
I hope scientists try to breed Alex and Einstein, potentially evolving the species. I'd like to see the great great grandson talk about philosophy or something.
