Everyone knows that parrots are very intelligent birds, but hardly anyone had guessed until today that these amazing creatures can make successful online purchases.
For example, 39-year-old Londoner Corienne Pretorius was recently surprised when a courier knocked on her door, bringing several gift boxes worth 10 pounds sterling.
The woman told the messenger that she hadn’t bought anything like that, but the courier said that a mistake was unlikely. After a little investigation, it turned out that a voice order had indeed been made from the British woman's computer. Corienne was truly amazed when she heard her pet on this recording. Buddy, a 5-year-old gray parrot, used Amazon's Alexa voice system to order these same gift wrapping boxes with a microphone. The owner of the house was at work at that moment, unaware of the activity of her pet on the Internet.
On the tape provided to her from the store (as evidence), the parrot owner clearly heard her talking bird asking for cardboard gift boxes. How Buddy came up with such an idea is a real mystery. It should be noted that Grays are considered the most talented talking parrots. Living with a person, such a bird can memorize more than one and a half thousand words. Extensive research shows that Grays are also capable of realizing the meanings of many words, including abstract concepts.
