Try posting to the CompuServe Animals Forum, in the parrots section.
You should be able to find someone there who'd love to help out.

Have you trained the Oscar to do any tricks? I had two large ones while
in college, and I could not only hand-feed them, but one would leap from
the water, "Flipper-style", for bits of beef heart, and both would let
me lift them from the water by hand when I needed to clean the tank.

One of mine also ate my plecostomus. I didn't mind that at the time, as
I was pretty ticked off because the plecostomus had recently killed the
soft-shell turtle living in the tank by chewing/sucking through his back
carapace.
