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.
Dog Unlocks Smartphone with Owner’s Face
One family in Seattle was shocked when their Labrador, Max, was caught on their indoor security cam unlocking a smartphone—using his owner's sleeping face. The footage showed Max nudging the phone to the owner's face while he was napping, unlocking it successfully, and then proceeding to nose-tap through the photo gallery, seemingly looking for his own pictures. The family later realized he had learned this trick after months of watching them use Face ID.
Max’s motivation? He was after the food delivery app. Several screen taps later, he had managed to pull up the app his owner used to order burgers. Thankfully, he didn’t complete a purchase—but it was enough to prove pets are evolving fast in a tech-driven world. The clip went viral on TikTok, sparking discussions on whether dogs might start ordering their own snacks soon.
