Could you be thinking of Alex, the Gray who was studied by an animal psychologist? He lived to be 30. I get an email notification when a new Einstein video is posted, and I just got one this week about his "Easter Egg Roll" that was published on 3/26.
The owner of Fish & Friends in Muskegon, MI, bred our cockatiel. She had an African Gray in her store one day whose chest area was pretty devoid of feathers. He had been living at her house, and she brought him in to live at the store in hopes he would get more human interaction and stop pulling his feathers out.
