B&G Macaw, Galah, 5 cockatiels, 50 billion and a half budgies. We breed and do rescue. Too many to list each individual's name and age etc, but they are each individuals and loved dearly.
Can someone please explain to my intellectually challenged companion that the piece of apple sitting on my knee that he was so appalled at and was so horribly offended that I had given it to him, is from the same frigging apple he is trying to steal before I can bite it????

Silly featherhead. My mouth is not a magic flavor enhancer...

Hah. My tiel used to do the same thing. I just started pretending to try to eat his bite and letting him steal it.

He was rehomed due to my allergies and is doing great. Not a hijack attempt. Just explaining why he used to do it.

My birds do the exact same thing. My dad will eat an apple/banana/grape in front of them and they want it sooo badly! The second he gives them any though they're disgusted and immediately try to grab what's in his hand.
