Aww, beautiful pictures! Birds always look their best when perching on branches with leaves, don't they? And they sure do love them!

Try making a cup for him. I had the same problem with my Zoey Senegal but I solved it by giving her hew own 'tea' so we can have some together. I have Earl Grey and she has a little demitasse of an herbal.

Zoltin thinks that anything I have is his as well, If I sit down with a cup of coffee, Zoltin has one thing on his mind, and that's to get my cup of coffee! Of course he is not allowed any, and he knows it, I nearly cant have a coffee if he is around, unless I'm prepared for a battle! But he got me back for not sharing, in a lax moment I put my coffee down, he was busy with something else. But it took him all of 5 seconds to grab one of his toys, march over to my coffee, and throw his toy into it, he was delighted! I wasn't so impressed! But his cheekiness did make me laugh!!

I figured that Zoltin cant go outside to be in the trees, so I brought some of outside in to him!

I give mine about a half onze of juice in small cups to keep them away from mine. I also have to give them food off my plate. I give them the safe foods before adding salt. They have grabbed my dish or bowl before and tried to take it from me. It is really hard to eat oatmeal when the bowl in moving.

I give mine little pieces of nut or birdie bread for a treat when I am eating someting not good for them to keep them busy for a while. But Sunny knows I have something different and he is obsessed with at least tasting it on my lips.

I don't know what it is about my black coffee, but my birds love it nearly as much as I do. They do like when I am drinking juices too, but nothing like my coffee.

I used to have a very tame buff sussex chicken and she woud drink my coffee if I didn't guard the cup when in the garden. Non of the other chickens were interested.
I drink my coffee black with no sugar, so I am surprised she wanted it.

That's because birds have no taste receptors for sweet so they love spicy, hot, sour and bitter. A warm bitter coffee is just their 'cup of tea' :lol:
