A Crotchety African Grey Parrot Orders Amazon Alexa to Stop Playing Frank Sinatra’s ‘New York, New York’

An adorably crotchety African Grey parrot named Mr. Magoo appears to be no fan of Frank Sinatra. The frustrated bird made his feelings very clear with his hung head and a barking order for Alexa on the Amazon Echo to stop playing “New York, New York” each time his human put the song back on.

Alexa Stop!! Magoo does not like Frank Sinatra

Mr. Magoo isn’t always bossy with Alexa. Like other African Greys, he can get pretty conversational.
