I used to scoup them up and bring them into the BHD or DUB lounge with me, whereupon they'd look amazed that so much food was (i) available and (ii) free at the point of delivery. Then they usually settled quietly into a corner with a sandwich and tea. I did spot a Cardinal once in the QF First Lounge at Sydney - and he wasn't drinking tea.
