I'll repeat once more!

Is this what you did to the poor creature, Ms Irene Pepperberg?

Have him worked to death by your research?
8-12 hours a day, every day, of gruelling mental exercise, just to
find out where the limits of avian intelligence exist!  No wonder
Alex died so young.

Both you and Brandeis University should be ashamed of yourselves!
