If you are eating in front of your bird and he is not watching you then I would think that it is because there is too much going on around him for him to pay attention to it and/ or he is not hungry at this time and perhaps looking to take a nap. Most birds are right there actively watching anytime there is food involved as they are always looking for a good place to get their next meal. Don't know what else to say about this.
As far as not likeing something that is common to the nature of a forum, you don't have to like it, and you don't have to respond to it either, but you should recognize that it is not uncommon for more than one person to be typing a response to you at the same time unaware that someone else is also doing the same thing and it is just a matter of who finishes first what order they are posted. Also try and recognize that these similar responses were all offered in good faith to help you.

:lol: Yes, it is annoying, I agree with you. But like the French say "C'est la vie!" Life is full of annoying things and people and there are only two ways of dealing with them: either ignore them with a smile on your face or complain and sulk... -but complaining will only lose you friends because everybody is annoying at times. Some more, some less but there you have it!
