2 umbrella Cockatoos One male named Cooper and female named Baby 1 Little Corella male named Frankie and have 5 Cockatiels three named Male named Pepper, Fiesco for the female and female named Wylie.
My cockatoos decide to help themselves to my plate. I can give them some in their own bowl and they won't eat it, but will take it directly out of my plate. LOL Of course Baby being the ring leader, then Cooper came over.

Mine leaped off of me last night (literally--like a half foot) and ran to steal a fragment of a thai flavored dorito that dropped on the table (probably from my germy mouth ugh). I try so hard to keep her from stealing and sometimes, it's wasted effort lol! I feel you!! I am getting over being sick, so I hope it all pans out okay! eek

Usually she stay by the window, to look out, or play stand, as she for the most part is banned from this bench/table, unless I pick her up and bring her over with me, or at bench and won't bother with my food. She really loves rice it is her favorite food and she knew what it was, waited till I when to get something to drink and wasn't looking and flew over, Cooper will wait to see if she gets into trouble first before he decides to fly over. Besides pasta, beans, eggs, or hot peppers, vegetables and fruits for people food. I let them eat rice every once in a while, so no big deal, I just let them eat some, saves me from having to put some in the bowl for them.

She destroyed a couple keyboards, usually what she goes after. She usually banned from bench area unless I pick her up and bring her with me. I just left to grab something to drink thinking only a couple of seconds and I guess she knew what was on the plate and when for it. Rice is her favorite, Cooper came after I came back and sat back down and saw I just let her eat some, then he joined.

I have to feed Rocky off my fork. At least Freddie, my tiel, will just wade into a plate and help himself. Rocky makes a fuss until I feed him and has even tried to take the food off the fork while I'm putting it into my own mouth.
