Parrots are known for their intelligence and ability to mimic sounds, but did you know they can also be quite demanding when it comes to food? A video taken by @rick_i_larsen on October 25, 2022 in St. Petersburg, Russia, shows just how persistent a parrot can be when it comes to getting a taste of their favorite foods.

The video features an Indian ringed parrot named Ricky, who has a particular fondness for pasta in any form. The author, @rick_i_larsen, was enjoying a plate of pasta carbonara when Ricky arrived on the scene. As soon as he spotted the delicious food, he immediately made his way over to investigate.

In the video, you can see Ricky perched on a nearby surface, eyeing the pasta intently. He even tries to snatch a bite when @rick_i_larsen's attention is briefly diverted. However, when he is quickly shooed away, he becomes visibly frustrated and starts to make a fuss.
