  here's the longer version of the news report and also what Alex replied to "You be good. See you tomorrow. I love you".
  
  
  
  RIP ALEX![/url]

  Actually I'm a little confused. So who said those famous words?
  
  According to report by TS, it should be the parrot. The parrot is male. Pepperberg is a zha bor.
  
  

  On Thursday, when Pepperberg put Alex back in his cage for the night,
  she says he told her: "You be good. See you tomorrow. I love you".

  According to the report you quoted, it should be Pepperberg?!
  
  

  Pepperberg said Alex seemed fine Thursday evening, the last time she saw him. They went through their usual good-night routine. She told the bird she loved him and would see him the next day.
  
  Alex answered, "You'll be in tomorrow."

  I guess it's a mistake. Alex says, "You'll be in tomorrow" instead.

  Read about Alex some years ago.
  
  I should say the title is misleading. Alex could achieve all this because he was taught all this skills.
