It seems like BUDDY the parrot has certainly embraced the age of technology! Mimicking his owner's voice to utilize Amazon's Alexa is both impressive and a little concerning. I mean, you can never be too sure what’s going to show up at your door next! Here's a quick recap of the amusing scenario:
Parrot Type: African Grey
Owner: Corienne Pretorius
Action: Mimicking owner to order gift boxes via Amazon Alexa
Cost of Order: £10 gift boxes
Initial Confusion: Corienne was shocked until she realized it was her clever parrot at play.
It's a perfect example of how curious animals can surprise us. Just think about the possibilities: next, he might tackle online grocery delivery! Wouldn't that be a sight? If only we could teach them to avoid purchasing unnecessary items or sending them back... that would really make them "smart" assistants!
