Andy struts arrogantly across the restaurant floor, eyeballing numerous diners who have entered his domain before selecting a German couple in the corner. He decides he will join them for breakfast. They are not upset when, without an invitation, he invades their space. In fact, they are thrilled to be chosen. They watched his swaggering approach and now smile broadly as he hops from the floor onto their table. A slice of fresh mango is held in front of him and Andy quickly finishes the first course of his tropical breakfast. He perches on the shoulder of one of the visitors so her husband can take a picture - and then, being a compulsive table-hopper, flies off to join another group. Andy is an extrovert eclectus parrot and one of the stars of Breakfast With The Birds at the Rainforest Habitat Wildlife Sanctuary in tropical north Queensland's Port Douglas.
