Following on the news of car-driving dogs, The Guardian's GrrlScientist brings us Pepper, the buggy-driving African grey parrot:
Proving that robots aren't just for people any longer, African grey parrot, Pepper, has learned to drive a robot that was specially designed for him. Pepper, whose wings are clipped to preventing him from flying around his humans' house and destroying their things, now manipulates the joystick on his riding robot to guide it to where ever he wishes to go.
Dogs driving cars. Birds piloting mecha. The future's gonna be strange, folks.
