Parrots apparently like tea…

I lost my tea drinking Jenday conure to my sun conure who she prefers over me. I finally was able to drink tea in peace without company. Until I adopted my macaw. He likes tea too, and I didn’t figure this out for the first 4-5 months I’ve had him. He has a broken wing so he can’t just fly to get to the tea so he just sat there, and screamed. I finally decided to give him a sip. The screaming instantly stopped.

My peaceful mornings were short lived

Wait... tea fixes screaming? Sign me up. Brand, where to purchase, steeping time?

One of my budgies likes cold beer. A tiny sip out of the rim of the can is all she gets. They seem to want to taste everything we eat and drink. They like orange juice. We need to be careful that they don't decide to bathe in whatever we're drinking. I wouldn't want to have to wash OJ, Coke or coffee off a budgie!

My bird is not a tea lover. I have offered to share my herbal tea with him and he has no interest. Coconut water is his favorite. He is also a fan of fresh-squeezed orange juice (Cara Cara variety only, please!) and watermelon juice. He drinks from a little spoon, preferably with me holding it at the appropriate height. He is a little spoiled.
