Tsali - African Grey- I am a one parrot parent. It's a full time job keeping Tsali healthy and happy.
$100,000 - a nice little chunk of change. The better I get to know Tsali, the more I love him and the more it breaks my heart that he is a "captive bird" when he should be flying free. I think with my $100,000 I would either find a safe place for him to live out his days in the wild and spend $$ in teaching him to be a truly wild and free parrot. Since I'm not sure that would be possible, I'd do my best to build and/or provide Tsali a life that would replicate a life in the wild as closely as possible.

Don't get me wrong - I love Tsali, he is an incredible little buddy, but he deserves so much more than I can ever provide in a captive situation.

Foraging toys.
Equipments for building an aviary(outdoors)
Safe plants and more toys for the aviary
A big perch
A HUGE playstand
Bird safe furniture and cookware so that it doesnt harm the bird

I would buy a huge outdoor aviary and a few birds. I would also try to get a bigger apartment since I dont cage him and that would mean more space.

None. My wife has one too many. Kidding!
Because the Rickeybird has made my life so rotten, I'd give all that $$ to conservation and habitat preservation so future Rivals would be in the clear. Kill me now.

I would probably start with buying a brand new cage, best I can find. Then I'd move on to getting a couple play stands and many many toys. I would probably save whatever is left to cover food and vet bills for many years. I would definitely attempt to build an aviary for Lincoln but I just don't leave in an area suitable for it.

Ever since I got to hold one my dream parrot is a Hyacinth macaw.

I would get one and rest of the money would be used for care/cages/vet visits.

I would use the money for feather plucking research. I want to know if this is environmental, behavioral, or so on. I really want to help parrots with this issue.

I would go for a new roof, set of windows, siding, air-conditioner, and oh yeah, a nice fresh bag of tops!
*DONE-roof, siding, air system-DONE*
Now, pool heater, pool cage rebuilt! And another fresh bag of TOPS!

I'd use it to turn my whole yard into an aviary, or spend it on planer tickets to give my birds to the biggest captive (not predatory) bird aviary in the world!
