"Noggin": a small mug or wooden cup; its contents, a dram of about a gill; a drink (of beer, spirits etc.). (cf Chambers Dictionary, i990 Edition.) "Cockatiel": a type of parrot (not in Chambers, their bad!) "Cocktail": a concoction of spirituous or other liquors. (Also Chambers). So: Noggin the cockatiel = "A parrot, full of spirits":-)) (Hence the phrase "As drunk as a Parrot" (which comes shortly before "As sick as a Parrot"). LOL Diolma (And sorry for being facetious...)
