My fluffy little parrot apparently isn't just a pretty feathered face. I gave him an animal cracker cookie this morning, because of course he loves eating cookies the shape of elephants, monkeys, and most of all, CATS.
He took the cookie and immediately dropped it into his water dish, waited a couple of moments, then picked it back out and commenced eating it.
Turns out he likes them a little softened up and knows exactly how to make that happen. Now if he could only start doing the dishes and my laundry.
Update: I gave him another cookie this morning (Friday), and he was on his play perch, which is next to his cage. He took it and walked over to his cage, up onto the top, over to the water dish and dropped it in before munching it down. Now he won't eat them any other way. I love it.
Another Update: The other day I gave him a cookie dipped in coffee - what a mistake. You have to give him credit - he's got quite a palate.

Is that Henry for real? He DOES look pretty smart, for a fixed-eye type. But remember, never judge anyone's intelligence by the drift of his or her eyes.
holy shit that killed me. I got nuthin - no comeback for that.
He does look awfully smart - a little too smart if you ask me. Not that you did...especially since I have a HUGE fear of birds (childhood trauma of course). Still, he's an awfully handsome devil.
It's like having a tiny, feathered, eight-toed toddler for 50 or 60 years. He can be funny, serious, goofy, vexing, and ultimately, fascinating. Like any creature, he's constantly evolving and changing - it's a trip. And amazingly, he's still not using any profanity.
