Technology is becoming so advanced these days, it’s creepy! What’s even more spooky is when your speaker can take orders from non-humans!

That’s exactly what happens to this one man who owns a parrot. The pets name, “Rocco,” the African Grey enjoys playing soft music while his keeper his at work.

According to a report, Rocco enjoys ordering strawberries, watermelon, and ice cream. He also ordered a kite and lightbulbs. Rocco’s owner said he often comes home to soft music playing. He lets his parrot order stuff and then he cancels it. Got to love your pets!

In a similar situation, an Echo speaker took an order from a TV commercial that was an ad for an Alexa. A man in the Alexa commercial ordered cat food and then the Echo heard it, and actually ordered the cat food.

Luckily the customer was able to cancel the order. Do you think these speakers should have a special confirmation after an order is placed?
