Sick of being excluded, a parrot takes matters into his own claws:
The behaviour that most annoyed Pepper was when his human family left him alone in a room — how dare they ignore him? After living with these humans for more than ten years, was he not a member of the family too?
Pepper decided to pursue a bold course of action to remedy this situation: he would attempt to train his humans to never abandon him. A simple goal, but addressing it was a daunting task — so challenging that he would often scream in sheer frustration. Eventually, Pepper’s screams of loneliness and frustration had the desired effect: Mr Gray began designing a variety of objects to occupy the parrot’s time and energies whilst his humans roamed through the house, out of his sight.
When a robotic squirt gun and rattle didn’t quell Pepper, the bird’s owner took it one step further:
This time, Mr Gray knew what he had to do. He designed a toy that would relieve Pepper’s loneliness — a stylish toy that would make any parrot proud. His very own robot!
