Pomegranate

Harley loves pomegranate.
Unlike many foods, which he appears to enjoy on first bite but then ignores completely — like pumpkin, polenta, sweet potato, and tofu, to name four — he always eats this.
(I'm sure Harley's former Mom thinks his current eating habits are strange. I don't know how to respond to this. Frankly, I think Harley's current eating habits are strange, too. As far as I can tell, he subsists on apple, toast, carrots, pomegranate, peas, peanuts, almonds, cheese, the couch, love, and air. I'm pretty sure that Peanut, who was one-tenth Harley's size, ate more than he does. But I guess that's a different story.)
Like me, Harley squishes the fruit pips in his mouth to drink them, and then spits the seeds out. He's much more willing to put up with the bother of a pomegranate than I am.
(And clearly, I am much more willing to put up with dirty kitchen appliances than most people. Would somebody please clean that toaster oven?!?)

oh my goodness! Do you have pomegranate juice splattered all over your house? It's amazing what birds will eat and wont. My parroltets seem to love the messy stuff too, like blackberries.

Well, it might look like Harley sprayed pomegranate juice all over, but to be fair to him, most of the mess on the toaster oven is the result of my own cooking antics. And the fact that I don't remember ever trying to clean the outside of the thing. I've asked myself "Can you clean toaster ovens?" a few times since Harley arrived, decided his favorite place to be is in the kitchen, and I've started posting pictures of him on the only counter we have - in front of the nasty, dirty toaster oven. So far, I've answered "I don't know," and "Maybe I'll have to try that one day." And then I reply "Yeah, right."
Apparently, somebody hasn't been getting a lot of sleep lately.
As for bird messes, Harley doesn't really eat enough to make food-related dirt much of a problem.
