Watchya Eatin?

So, this will be obvious but it's kind of humorous. Mango has taken an interest in what I'm eating. Naturally, I don't eat with him on my shoulder, but he'll fly over and be persistent.

Other times at the slightest sound of something going on in there, the little shoulder jockey's head will appear from down to the left or right, and he'll tilt his head and focus. If I turn away or at other times, he'll pull my hair or grab my beard and yank my face over to get a better look. He's not shy.

clark just jumps down and eats it......because she has no sense of manners.

Great photo!
Mine rip it out my hand and fly away to eat it.
My GCC try to put her head in my mouth and grab food, yuck, just no, but she is so fast

Well, I did something really dumb once, and it only took once. See, wasn't eating anything and I told him I had no food, SEE!

It's rare that I mistake my tongue for food but I guess it looks like a "big juicy worm" to a bird.

I guess Mango is fairly well mannered. He has gone down my arm to get to a bowl of nuts before, but he seems to look back at me and wait for permission, or he feels like he's doing something wrong. I suspect it's not going to last. He has been stretching his wings a bit more, so to speak...

Our Julio will fly in and land on his perch, review the offering, walk over and take what he wishes. He has plenty available, so it is commonly not a large amount, only a few bits. Then off to explore elsewhere.
