Parrot Activates Alexa to Play Favorite Songs

In Ohio, a chatty African Grey parrot named Disco was seen repeatedly activating his household Alexa. The footage showed Disco mimicking his owner’s voice perfectly, saying “Alexa, play funky music.” To everyone’s amusement, Alexa complied—and Disco danced. What started as an accidental discovery has become a regular nightly concert.

Disco’s knack for voice commands didn’t stop at music. He’s also placed items in the shopping cart and asked for weather updates. The owner has since adjusted the device’s permissions, but not before the video went viral. Now, Disco’s fanbase awaits his next big command, possibly involving pizza or mood lighting.
