FOX NEWS - A parrot has fallen in love with his owner’s Amazon Alexa — but keeps using it for shopping.
Parrot used Amazon Alexa to order items while his owner was away. So far Rocco the African Grey, from Didcot, Oxfordshire, U.K., has demanded treats such as strawberries, watermelon, raisins, broccoli and ice cream.
He has also ordered a kite, light bulbs and even a kettle.
Rocco likes to dance too and tells the voice-activated device to play favorite tunes. Sometimes they are slow numbers, but he generally prefers rock.

SC, are you getting this?

Yup, Hope Alexa is not too close to the Cockatoo Tree.

Do you have a link?

Perhaps not the same story as OP read, but a story nonetheless.

Cici is certainly smart enough to do that!!

Rocco and Ryker the service dog failure would make quite a team.

I dated a girl when I was in graduate school who had an African Grey and it was amazing the vocabulary it had. You could actually have a conversation with him...

Good thing the cat can’t talk. Otherwise there would be a case of tuna at the front door.

I have 6 cats, but no Alexa.

Bird's are people, and it can't be proven otherwise.

Hahaha!

It’s so easy to order from Amazon and I order so often that I wouldn’t know my bird ordered something until it arrived! Good thing Amazon has a lenient return policy.
