I just wanted to thank everyone involved in this event for making it so easy to attend and a great pleasure. Especially the speakers.

All the speakers were exceptional, but I was especially impressed with Liz Wilson who probably would have answered questions on parrot behavior all day if not for the time constraints. Liz was very knowledgable and entertaining.

Dr. Pepperberg was the main reason I drove from NC to attend and I was not disappointed. Her work is fascinating and confirms what I always knew about parrots, that they are more intelligent than many people I know.

All in all a wonderful day and a great experience for me.

Thanks especially to Lisa B. who provided all the information and to The Freinds of the Alex Foundation for sponsoring the event as well as Bird Paradise for providing the facilities.
