Onni the cockatoo already has a following on the Internet.
Best known for his tap dancing and his crazy reactions whenever his dad comes home, Onni can now add one more skill to his list – being able to order from Alexa, as you can see in this hilarious video:

Onni’s parents just love using their Amazon Echo in order to listen to music or to get weather updates but that’s pretty much the extent of how they’re using this technological wonder. But leave it to Onni to discover that there’s more to Alexa than just music and weather!
They suddenly heard the 4-year-old bird in the next room mumbling something, then surprisingly, they hear the distinctive voice of Alexa saying, “Okay, I’ll add that to your shopping list.” Rushing over to the room, they see Onni sitting pretty at his cage with Alexa all silent.
The thing is, Onni’s parents have never used Alexa to order anything and don’t even know how to bring up that function. There was no way Onni could have learned it from them so they thought it was some sort of fluke.
It turns out that one can command Alexa to “fart.” Thinking that this would be a great trick to teach Onni, they never expected him to react that way he did. Poor Onni is apparently afraid of Alexa’s farts.
But Onni had other tricks up his feathers, so to speak. Despite the farting debacle, a few weeks later the couple overheard Onni ordering something through Alexa with the device confirming the shopping list. Since they had heard of people asking Alexa to recite shopping lists back to them, they decided to try out that feature and what they discovered floored them.
Onni managing to order from Alexa was no fluke, and this is what he managed to “order” from the device:
- Fart
- Fart
- Hello
- Eggs
Onni’s parents still don’t know how to use Alexa to add items to the shopping list nor use it to buy things. In any case, they’re perfectly happy just listening to music from it. “I think it’s funnier if we don’t learn how to open up Alexa’s shopping skill and leave it up to Onni. I just hope we don’t get a bunch of farts delivered to our door.”
Replaced!
