Juggling for parrots?

Anyone have any ideas whether any of the larger parrots would find a display of several brightly colored balls cascading through the air amusing? Or would it just scare them?

I've tried juggling in the same room as my birds before, but since the balls are at the very least as big as them, it just scared them. I've thought about testing this theory in a local bird store (and not getting to close to the birds, mind you), but I'd rather not be banned for causing unrest.

So does anybody know if any of the larger parrots would enjoy some stupid human tricks?

My BG wouldn't like it much--he gets a bit spooked when I toss just one of his foot toys even a few inches up in the air. I know he'd rather chew something up than play fetch or catch :-).... Mostly, he likes chewing on my jewelry and clothing zippers and buttons--hence all the foot toy distractions.

I think it would depend on the bird, though. I know a Moluccan that doesn't like that kind of stuff--he displays, hisses and strikes out, but a Scarlet loves it, and so do a couple of Sulpher Cresteds of my acquaintence.
