I was just reading about tool use in Hyacinth macaws. They apparently use sticks to hold nuts in place so they can break them easier. I happen to know cockatoos use tools; they can even pick locks if you're not careful.
On the other hand, parrots seem to like destroying technology. Gideon has eaten all the buttons off the remote controls and wants to take the mouse apart so he can get the mouse wheel out. (He likes rolling it with his finger-like tongue.)
So that got me thinking...What would technology developed by parrots look like?
