When Annika got Alex, Alex would bob his head and squeak. Annika would bob her head and squeak back at him and say "hello Alex!". Alex started to mimic her mimicking himself, over time it just got more and more exaggerated.
Annika used to have a whole aviary of cockatiels until she moved to an apartment.
==Personal Life==
Annika and her bird, Alex currently lives in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, with Alex's son, Dominic. Alex used to live with his mate, Tina, but Tina passed away in 2016. Following this, Dominic moved in to keep Alex company.
On April 27th, 2021, it was announced via social media that Alex had passed away at 23 years old. The channel went on hiatus as Annika was grieving the loss of her bird.
When Alex died, his son Dominic replaced him as the main channel mascot.
