Marion, 49, from England, stands on her shoulder by the name of Rocco, an African grey parrot who lives at home with Marion.
As one of the several known animals in the world that can really talk to humans, parrot Rocco has brought a lot of happiness to Marion's life, but recently, Rocco has made Marion really upset, and this is not a parrot, ah. It's a bear boy.
Marion and the parrot, Rocco, met earlier this year, and before these two met, Rocco had been raised by the British National Conservation Animal Foundation.
But naturally smart Rocco is not a parrot without a story.
At that time, when he lived in the Foundation Reserve, he often caused all kinds of headaches, did not like to eat, did not abide by discipline, anyway, and the most naughty students in the class can compete.
But none of the above is the worst, the worst is that Rocco doesn't know where to learn dirty language.
When many visitors come to the foundation, Rocco always likes to scold at people.
After several similar incidents, the Foundation Reserve was unable to manage Rocco, and intended to "sweep it out".
At this time, Marion, who works for the foundation, first met the grey feather of Rocco, which is also a lovely look, some noisy but quite cheerful character. Marion, who is a fan of small animals, has decided to adopt the little villain who was thrown out of the foundation.
In this way, Rocco became a new member of the Marion family.
Since the parrot Rocco came to his own house, Marion found that although the excitement is lively, but this little guy has brought a lot of trouble, Rocco, who is very capable of imitation, likes to prank the family, for example, bored and imitating a mobile phone ringtone. Let everyone mistakenly think that the phone rings, or when everyone does not pay attention to the quiet Mimi to make a knock on the door, deceiving everyone to run to open the door.
For these pranks, Marion is also funny and helpless.
Some time ago, Marion bought her home an Amazon voice assistant, Alexa, who should have never imagined that the voice assistant would "join forces" with the parrot Rocco in the future to make herself even more upset.
Since the advent of the intelligent device, Alexa, a voice assistant at home, parrot Rocco seems to have a new friend, and every day there is more nonsense.
"it (Rocco) is usually at home nothing stop talking to Alexa, at least a few dozen times a day, it often lets Alexa tell it jokes, but also like to let Alexa play music, listen to the music to dance a little, well, it orders the most is rock and roll, I seem to like this style of music very much. "
Marion said that since Rocco used voice assistant Alexa, she has often heard music outside the door when she comes home from work before she opens the door.
Well, if you like to hear jokes, you can dance if you like to listen to songs and dance. As long as you're happy, Marion didn't care much at first.
But with the increasing familiarity with Rocco and Alexa, coupled with the usual observation of the interaction between the host and the voice assistant, parrot Rocco's handling of the voice assistant in front of the moment has become more and more gliding, and has even recently begun to buy its own food!
A few days ago, Marion's cell phone suddenly received several inexplicable Amazon order reminders: bulbs, kites, strawberries, raisins, ice cream, broccoli, watermelons.
What the heck? When did you order these things?
The first time Marion saw these messy orders was a mess, but soon she reacted, and that's probably what the family did. Yes, it was you! Rocco!
In order to find out exactly, Marion quietly filmed Rocco's life at home during the day at work. At first, Rocco and voice assistant Alexa were "talking and laughing", listening to jokes, and watching a few songs was already the daily routine of Rocco, and not for a while. This boring little guy is really starting to go shopping crazily through Alexa!
"it orders things it likes, like raisins and strawberries, but sometimes it buys something else at random, a teapot bulb or something."
Speaking of Rocco's shopping over and over again, the Marion as a shit shovel is also real's tiredness.
"it's no use talking about it," he said. It activates Alexa. itself. I can't control it at all.
The first thing I come back from work every day is to check my shopping cart and clean it up. "
Because of this, Rocco has also been honored in the past two days on a number of news sites. And admiration.
The parrot breed Rocco belongs to the African grey parrot, which has the title of "bird Einstein" and the ability to imitate it. Harvard University has shown that it is an African grey parrot that has the title of "bird Einstein". An African grey parrot almost outperformed a 4-year-old in the comprehension test.
So it's not hard for Rocco to get parrot shopping that sounds crazy.
Even Rocco is not the first parrot to buy for itself. As early as 2017, the media reported an African grey parrot named Buddy, who lives with his owner in London:
More than the Buddy of Rocco, it not only buys for itself, but also mimics the voice of its owner, who talks to Alexa, an Amazon voice assistant, with his master's voice. I bought myself a golden gift box worth $16.
It was not until the gift box arrived at home that the master found that his parrot had learned to imitate his voice and the whole family had to return it.
Well, it looks like.
Smart voice devices encounter a talking smart parrot combination is also not a small disaster.
Heartache, officers, for a minute.
