What happens when you put a very smart parrot in a room with a voice-activated virtual assistant?
The owners of an African grey parrot named Petra also have an Amazon Echo, the tall black cylinder that activates a blue light when it hears the word “Alexa.” Say “Alexa” and the computer carries out your command.
Petra tells Alexa a lot of things such as …
“Tell me about the rock” and …
… and “Petra Makes a Shopping List.” As the video description says: “The humans in the house have NEVER intentionally added anything to Alexa’s shopping list. But maybe Bibi the Bird did?”
What will happen next? Um … Nothing can go wrong.
See more of Petra and Alexa on the PetraGrey YouTube channel. Read more about Alexa here.

That is too funny. I wonder if Amazon thought about this situation when designing the Echo.
Lol! Awww! So cute! They African Grays are Really smart. He/she’ll be controlling the whole house with that. I could only imagine what s/he’ll have that thing doing in time.
