BUDDY the parrot showed he’s a pretty clever boy by mimicking his owner to order online shopping via Amazon’s Alexa voice-controlled system.

Shocked Corienne Pretorius could not work out how she had requested a £10 set of gift boxes until she realised her African grey had bought them.

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!
