Hmm, my Gcc loves hibiscus, rosehip, or chamomile tea though I don't drink it much, some times I just make it for the birds.
Tom, also tries to steal sips of my sweet tea but has never managed more than a small drop of it, I put my tea in a Yeti.
He'd also love a sip of coffee but I'm afraid that can't happen!

Pippen likes rooibos tea. I don't know if you guys from overseas drink it, but it's amazing imo. With or without milk and/or sugar. Sometimes I make myself a cup with just tea and water, then I take a sip or two, and offer it to Pipp(she will not drink it unless she sees I enjoy it.)

Just out of curiosity, what all can birds drink? I'm trying to help my picky chicky Moxxie get some more fruits and veggies.

1 YNA (Bingo)
1 OWA (Plumas R.I.P.)
1 RLA (Pacho R.I.P.)
2 GCA(Luna,Merlin) The Twins
1 Congo AG (Bella)
5 Cockatiels
The only bird I have that drinks anything other than water is Bingo.

Both items are on the no no list so it’s rare that he gets a taste.
Coffee maybe 1 sip in a month, it’s very rare.
Normally drink my coffee early morning before birdies are awake. If/when I have a second cup and Bingo sees me he wants a sip.

Hot chocolate.
In the winter when it“s cold there is nothing so good as a hot chocolate.
When Bingo sees or smells it he has to get a sip or he won’t leave me in ppeace.

And now everyone can tell me what a bad parrot I am.
Before I knew chocolate was bad for them I would give Bingo malted milk balls.
he would scrape every bit of chocolate off and leave the malted center untouched.

I don’t do that anymore and won’t but it did not hurt him back in the 80s.

Oh--is that what that brown, waxy stuff is supposed to be?! :p (I am a quite the chocolate fan. I actually have extremely-dark chocolate, with butter and pink salt on it, for breakfast several days per week.)

My TAG loves the "juice" in/from my canned, wild-caught, Sockeye salmon! There is clearly some good, liquid fat floating on it. He loves organic tart-cherry juice, too; but, the salmon "juice" is more of a treat.

My bud Toby tries to steal any drink or food I put up to my mouth -- and he isn't exactly nice about it. Coffee-berry tea (aka Cascara), blueberry tea, rooibos tea, doesn't matter -- he'll fight me for a sip. I have to make sure he's busy with something he loves before I walk into the room with a cup, mug or glass of anything.

Jello is the same way but specifically with lemonade. I water it down a ton as it is for my own tastebuds but he will fly at the back of my head crashlanding for a sip

this method worked for me: blend kale, spinach, carrots and other greens with apple juice. then just enjoy it infront of ur birds (it honestly is quite good ngl and very good for u) and theyll most likely want it.

I was thinking that. Only problem, I can't afford a blender at the moment 😅
Between house bills, vet bills, pet supplies, and house supplies plus inflation. It's a lot.
