For everyone suggesting that Amazon needs to fix this, the article makes it clear in the first sentence that these items were not actually purchased:
"Luckily, due to a parental lock, none of his attempted purchases went through."
- zzo38computer 8y agoI have used the parental lock setting on the television for a similar purpose (avoiding an unintended purchase). Although, there is no parrot in here nor anyone who would make any of these purchases anyways, but it can protect against accidentally doing, too.

- tjoff 8y ago? So amazon needs to fix it for everyone that does not have the parental lock. Or make the parental lock mandatory.
- adventured 8y agoMy friend used to have to take extra precautions because she had a dog that could open the refrigerator. That's not a flaw in the refrigerator, a young child could do the same thing against permission. So Amazon has a parental lock. If you have a parrot in the house, using that lock may make sense in combination with owning voice activated devices. Amazon doesn't need to change anything. Life is overflowing with edge cases.
- tjoff 8y agoPlease inform me how the edge case of ordering something via alexa over voice is expected to be useful/sane.
- lostlogin 8y agoThe UI needs updating to allow it to have a parrot lock.
- zachrose 8y agoNot just UI, this goes all the way to the data model.
