In "Moonlight Madness", Iago talks about his cousin in Kentucky over a deep fryer but yet eats a fried chicken leg in, " Return of Malcho" ? What the heck is that all about?

Well, Iago is a parrot and not a chicken (unless you're talking figuratively Laughing

), so it's probably just a bird/KFC joke in Moonlight Madness, and he probably wasn't thinking he was eating his own kind on Return of Malcho.

Birds who eat birds like a hawk. Its like eating your own kind of species. So in your plee for Iago it was an involuntary action without thinking kind of thing. lol

Iago also isn't your typical bird that eats typical bird food either Laughing

He's also a species of parrot that doesn't live in the Middle East or even Africa. The "science experiment" reasoning sounds more plausible every day.

Or magic experiment. Maybe he was a person that was so annoying, a wizard turned him into a bird. (Not Jafar, since he seems to have already been a parrot when Jafar found him. Another wizard.)

He could have learned about vibrating chairs from Genie, or the Sultan might have a windup vibrating chair somewhere abouts.

I also wouldn't consider a parrot eating a chicken cannibalism, no more than I'd consider a human eating another mammal or a snake eating a lizard cannibalism.

The real problem is that birds have much lower morphological diversity than mammals: their basic body shape is very similar, as wildly differing shapes would be unable to fly. The only real weird birds are flightless ones, like ostriches and penguins. Mammals are a tad more flexible, and look quite different, so eating each other seems less cannibalistic.
