成精了! 非洲灰鸚鵡操控語音助手購物

A mischievous parrot who was booted from an Animal sanctuary for his foul mouth has found a friend in Amazon's Alexa device.

一隻因爲說髒話被動物收容所掃地出門的淘氣鸚鵡，近日在亞馬遜的Alexa設備中找到了知己。

Rocco, an African gray, was caught using the voice assistant to play his favorite music, tell jokes and even order snacks.

非洲灰鸚鵡羅科被發現用語音助手Alexa播放它最喜歡的音樂、講笑話甚至訂購零食。

Thankfully the device's parental lock system prevented the clever boy from actually purchasing any items -- which included strawberries, ice cream and even a kettle.

所幸Alexa的家長鎖系統阻止了這隻聰明的小傢伙真的買下任何商品--包括草莓、冰淇淋甚至還有一隻水壺。

Owner Marion Wischnewski said she took the parrot in after he was removed from a sanctuary operated by the UK's National Animal Welfare Trust for swearing too much.

羅科的主人瑪麗昂·維什涅夫斯基表示，因爲說太多髒話而被英國國家保護動物基金會運營的一家收容所掃地出門後，她收養了這隻鸚鵡。

Rocco, who was taught to curse by a previous owner, is evidently loving his new home, interacting with Alexa up to 40 times a day and mastering countless household sounds.

羅科是從原來的主人那裏學會說髒話的，它顯然非常喜歡自己的新家，每天與Alexa互動多達40次，還精通日常生活中的各種聲音。

He can make various mobile ringtones, the beep of the microwave and the squeaking of the refrigerator door, as well as the sound of an ice cream van or a reversing truck, according to Wischnewski.

維什涅夫斯基稱，羅科能模仿好幾種手機鈴聲、微波爐的嗶嗶聲、冰箱門的咯吱聲以及冰激凌車和卡車倒車的聲音。
