Caffeine is NOT good for birds. It can increase their heartrate
dangerously. I DO know people who give their birds coffee or cola, but
they're taking a risk, IMHO.
If the bird is REALLY into coffee, make her some de-caffeinated of her
own (cooled to a safe temp before giving her any, of course). Or keep a
cup of juice handy, and offer her that when she reaches for your cup.
