Emma loves her Alex Toy.

[Saemma]

Emma and Sachi received several new toys today.
One of the toys was the "Alex Toy" and it is definitely a 2 talons up toy!

When she first saw it the first thing that came out of her mouth was "whoa". I thought she'd take to it quickly but she seems somewhat nervous about touching it for a good 10 minutes.

Finally I hung the toy on her Boing and left her to figure it out on her own and it was clearly the best thing to do.

I am very impressed with the detail, thought and creativity of this toy. It is a big keeper and Emma absolutely loves it. Here is a video that I took tonight during the 1rst minute after she warmed up to it.

The toy was purchased at TNT

TNT Toys - Toys For Medium Birds

I've got a bit of news to share.

I sent an email to the folks at TNT Toys to thanks them for creating such an engaging toy = The Alex Toy.

They forwarded Emma's pictures and video to the Manager of Pepperberg Labs at Brandeis University. She emailed me to ask whether she could link Emma's video to the Alex Foundation FaceBook page.

Of course I said yes!

That's my bit of news.

Ah thanks Djuna and Ferdinand!

Apparently 50% of sales of this toy goes to the Alex Foundation. This will help Dr. Pepperberg continue her very important and valuable research on African grey Intelligence.
