Yes, I know parrots shouldn't have coffee. I keep telling Rocky he can't have coffee. But every time I try to have coffee, he tries to get it from me. He will move heaven and earth and even bite me (not hard) if I try to keep it away from him. I NEED my coffee. I thought and thought and finally decided to try giving him herbal tea so he'd have a cup of "coffee" of his own and would, perhaps, let me have mine. I had no real hope that it would work. I bought some chamomile tea and I made him some and cooled it enough to drink without cooling it entirely. I thought if it were still warm, like coffee, he would like that better. Parrots, in my experience, are suspicious of anything new and I figured he wouldn't even taste it. Except ... he did taste it. And then dove in beak first and drank and drank like he'd been waiting all his life for this. And it wasn't an anomaly. I've made tea for him a few times now, and he always drinks it.
