Must have been spoiled--tuna is GOOD for parrots. I feed mine tuna
regularly (but not with mayo or other additives--it's just plain, fresh
from the can).
EH>-> I saw a magician who used MACAWS and UMBRELLA COCKATOOS in his magic

EH>Absolutely!  McCaws will do anything you can CONVINCE them to do, but

Cockatoos are tough to convince or coerce. Macaws are impossible.
We saw this magician 'live' at a magic convention a couple years
back. I have, unfortunately, forgotten his name. This man had the big
birds popping out of his coat like doves. He produced 2 macaws and the
big 'too from a puff of smoke onstage. I leapt up into a standing
