In response to #11 Polly Wants a Cracker" I can attest to parrots dunking behavior! In addition to being a bird watcher, I am caretaker to a Blue Front Amazon named Casey. I have tended many parrots needing homes over the decades but he is the first "dunker". He used to take his hard Harrison Diet bird pellets and put them in his water bowl to soften. It made a big mess so I finally started giving him his water in a glass bottle with a metal drinking tube. Now he takes the pellets, one by one, and holds them up against the water tube dispenser until they are "just right"! (Kathy Kesner)
