Rocco, an African Grey parrot formally residing at the National Animal Welfare Trust sanctuary in Berkshire, annoyed visitors with his vulgar vocabulary. Fortunately, he was adopted by Marion Wischnewski, a worker from the same sanctuary. Even in his new home though, it seems like Rocco just can’t help getting into mischief.

Rocco has become well acquainted with Alexa, the virtual assistant for Amazon Echo. While his human is at work, Rocco spends the day talking with Alexa but has recently begun ordering things from her.

He has started a virtual shopping list where he tells Alexa to order all of his favorite foods including fruits and vegetables and even ice cream!

Whenever Marion gets home, she has to check the shopping list and cancel the things he has ordered. African Grey parrots are one of the most intelligent birds ever studied and have an incredible ability to imitate speech, which definitely explains Rocco’s talkative personality!
