Join us for a special visit by Dr. Betty Jean Craige and Cosmo, her talkative African Grey Parrot!

Cosmo shows us that even 150 years after Darwin's "Origin of Species" we humans still overlook and underestimate the intelligence and emotions of the other animals sharing our planet. Dr. Betty Jean Craige is Professor Emerita of Comparative Literature and Director Emerita of the Willson Center for Humanities and Arts at UGA. She also writes a Sunday column, "Cosmo Talks," in the Athens Banner-Herald.
