A family
has been left stunned when their "attention-seeking" parrot managed
to order its own internet shopping after tricking Amazon's Alexa.
Corienne
Pretorius was baffled after a £10 order for gift boxes arrived at her house.
The
bemused mum-of-one questioned husband Jan, 45, a civil engineer, and son Jaden,
eight, but quickly realised the culprit was Buddy - their African Grey Parrot.
Corienne,
from Greenwich, south east London, says the cheeky bird mimics her voice, and
must have activated the device's voice recognition software to place the
strange order.
She said:
"I couldn't believe it when I realised that it was Buddy who had used
Alexa to make an Amazon order.
"None
of us even knew how to use her for that.
