It is the sence of taste. They use all their scenses to investigate.

Trying to figure out if you would be better with the sweet and sour sauce or the honey barbeque sauce ?

Well, actually, it's not tasting as it is exploring the texture of things (like babies do) because parrots don't have any taste buds on the tip of their tongues and very few on the tongue itself.
