Proper social etiquette among parrots is to eat all meals with their flock. "Bird tax" is the portion of every meal eaten within earshot of your parrot. It must be paid to your parrot at the start of said meal as reimbursement for removing your parrot from the wild, or else it will be forcibly collected.*
