I think I would ignore, and perhaps offer him a piece of what he wanted in the first place once he settles down. 
I normally share my food with him, but I'm always cautious about sweets and salty snacks, because I know how unhealthy it is. I hate eating in front of him and not being able to share, but I don't know how much salt or sugar is too much.That is what I would do
Henkie and Fëanor were looking for a friend in distress when I watched the video
O I thought animal crackers were something specifically developped yo share with your pets or something
I had never heard of it! Well in that case I would just keep ignoring him They can’t Have everything for their Own sake

Will take note! Thank you!I think a little nibble of animal cracker isn't going to hurt him. I always share a tiny nibble of what I'm eating with my birds (as long as it's not toxic, of course), and find it's a great way to interact with them. They always have to do a little work for their treats, though - Pippin has to say "please?", Cake has to beep (since he can't really talk), and Piper has to go to a specific perch in her cage.
I try to turn these kinds of interactions into trainable moments.
Will take note! Thank you!
How do I go about eating unhealthy things in front of him? He loves pizza crust, and I tend to give him more than he should have, and when I don't, he stares me down like he wants to divebomb me.No worries! He's just angry that you're eating something that he can't. I try to ignore any tantrums like that, but it's easier to prevent them from happening (within reason) than it is to ignore them, in my experience.

Oh yeah, even if his bowl is full of food or he has his favorite treat, he'll look at me like "but why, mom? Why won't you share the deliciousness?" Then he proceeds to scream at the top of his lungs, yet it changes nothing lolA reasonable assumption there!
Animal crackers have even been around since before I was born! (the expression 'old as the hills' comes to mind)
They're kind of a very mild tasting cookie that are sometimes fed to teething babies as well. In my day they came in a bright red and yellow box with a shoestring handle to carry them around. The picture on the box was different circus animals in cages... lions and tigers and bears, etc.!
I can imagine he is worse than the puppy dog look when he wants what you are eating @Brittany0208 ! Poor little thing ... LOL!
Because he lives in my room, and I frequently eat many small meals or snacks for the sake of my digestive tract. I'll eat vegetables in front of him, but I never get the extreme reaction I get when I'm eating junk food. When I share my vegetables, he'll break off a piece and throw it, and if I put it in his bowl, he takes it out and drops it to the floor.
No. The other rooms are all occupied, and I spend most of my day at my desk which is in my room.
I was afraid that was going to be the case. I've been meaning to eat healthier over the last year since I suffer from malabsorption and Crohns. Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. Guess I can't have junk in front of the wardenFor me it sounds like you are gonna be more healthier.
No junk food eaten in front of him. That is not good food for him, and he needs healthy food.
I share all my food with my birds, and I'm not eating junk food, or something with a lot of sugar. And salt is a big No No!
If I will eat chocolate or ice cream I will do that after their bedtime.
Once you decided to share meal with them you must realize that they will only be sad if you don't do that every time. They will not understand the reason they can't have it, they will only feel ejected from the flock.
I expected him to start screaming or something, but he just kept letting out those sad little wimperings. I’m glad you want to try eating healthier so you can share your food with him, because having him cry like that would be too heartbreaking to ignore for long. That is the simplest solution. Also, when you are eating things he can’t have (healthy things like avocado for instance) maybe you can save a special treat for him, like some sort of nut or bird bread or something. Only use those treats for this purpose so they are special.
