A parrot owner was in for a great surprise, when he realized his African parrot was already in Christmas spirits before him. Rocco, an African grey parrot, used his owner's Amazon Alexa device to order a range of products, BBC reported. 

According to the report, Rocco ordered his favourite snacks including watermelons, raisins, broccoli and ice cream, along with a light bulb and a kite.

African grey parrots are known for their ability to mimic speech.

Rocco's owner Marion Wischnewski told the Daily Mail that she was shocked when she realized what Rocco has done. "I have to check the shopping list when I come in from work and cancel all the items he's ordered," she said.

Earlier to this, according to BBC, Rocco was re-homed from the National Animal Welfare Trust sanctuary in Berkshire because of his foul language. 

It was then, sanctuary worker Marion Wischnewski volunteered to foster him and took him to her home in Oxfordshire.

Despite being mischievous, Wischnewski thinks that her parrot is the sweetest. "I've come home before and he has romantic music playing," Ms Wischnewski said. "He loves to dance and has the sweetest personality."
