Parrot orders Amazon Alexa to turn on lights

Petra the parrot is no feather-brain. The chatty African Grey has apparently decided its does not need a human to complete simple tasks around the house. In a hilarious video clip posted online, the parrot is heard ordering its owner's voice-activated virtual assistant, Alexa, to flip on the living room lights - and the gadget complies. Petra says: 'Alexa, all lights on.' The successful bird then nods its head in apparent satisfaction before engaging in'small talk' with Alexa.
