BERKSHIRE, UNITED KINGDOM — A parrot who was once kicked out of the UK's National Animal Welfare Trust sanctuary for his foul mouth is getting himself in trouble yet again.<br /><br />WFLA reports that African Grey parrot Rocco now lives with his new owner Marion Wischnewski in Berkshire, where he's found a new partner in crime to run his mouth to, though in a different way.<br /><br />Rocco reportedly learned how to use Amazon's virtual assistant Alexa, and has been using it to shop on Amazon while his owner is away.<br /><br />The sneaky bird has ordered everything from strawberries and watermelon to ice cream, a kite and light bulbs.<br /><br />Thanks to a parental lock, none of Rocco's attempted purchases have gone through.<br /><br />But Wischnewski still has to check her account everyday to cancel whatever new things he's added to the shopping cart.<br /><br />Rocco's love for Alexa goes beyond materialistic tendencies, though. He also likes asking the virtual assistant to tell him jokes or play his favorite Kings of Leon tunes.<br /><br />And despite his naughty shopaholic ways, Wischnewski says the parrot has the sweetest personality.
