Rocco, an African grey parrot has learned to use Amazon’s Alexa to shop.  Rocco's owner Marion Wischnewski told the Daily Mail that she was shocked when she discovered packages arriving at her home that she didn’t order!

It turns out Rocco had been using Alexa to order up his favorite snacks including watermelon, raisins, and broccoli.  African grey parrots are known for their ability to mimic human speech and the name Alexa has become a regular part of his vocabulary.  Apparently, Rocco has logorrhea or likes to talk incessantly and Alexa picks up on it and places the orders.

Marion says she doesn’t want to keep Rocco from expressing himself, but she does have to check the shopping cart and delete any items he may have inadvertently ordered.  What do you call a person or a parrot who loves to hear themselves talk?  A popinjay!
