Parrot forges friendship with Alexa
« on: December 15, 2018, 02:45:13 PM »
Who's a clever boy then? A parrot called Rocco has been placing orders online by chatting to a voice activated device.

The parrot swooped in for some early Christmas shopping - buying watermelons, raisins, broccoli, ice cream, a light bulb and even a kite.

Who's card was he paying with ?

I love that he ordered a kite.

My kind of parrot.

You have to load a card to set up an Amazon account - bet the bill was huge?
Parrots are so clever - actually too clever by half!  Trouble is once they get started on something, how to stop it!

...ha ha that's what I would do. We have one it was bought as a present.  I only every ask it the time, and to play music or a radio station - nothing else.  I tend to forget she's there!!!

Does she not give the occasional burp to remind you ?  :D

... ;D  she occasionally lights up if she hears something that sounds like her name on the telly, but only cos she is positioned quite close to it...otherwise she just sits there awaiting instruction...if I remember.   oh I have used her as a timer when cooking things though.
