I believe they can snap a knuckle.
Every once in a while Rainbow or Myrtle chomp down on a knuckle just to show me they can hurt me if they wanted to.

A couple of weeks ago at a visit with our world-class avian vet, he let me watch as he collected the beak/throat sample... MANNNNNNNNNNN, the Rb's tongue was like a NINJA, blocking and jabbing and thrusting.
You gotta admire a great avian vet. They're master craftsmen/women. They handle birds so brilliantly. My vet also treats birds at the Natural History Museum and consults with our zoo. Eagles, vultures. So the Rb is putty in his hands.
