Such a handsome chap! The clues were as follows
1. I ain't no werewolf!
(Jack Hedley, who plays Timothy Havelock is also the voice of the parrot - a man who turns into a parrot rather than a wolf!)
2. In my case you could truly say that I am Bond's equal (then again, I don't really act as if I am)
(At the end everyone assumes Max is Bond in the telephone call with Mrs Thatcher, although even Bond wouldn’t be so forward as to ask her for a kiss)
3. I am quick to respond to Bond's query
(Max responds immediately to Bond’s ‘Where does your father keep his records, his daily log?’ with a repetition of ‘daily log’)
4. Two for the price of one
(Two actors are needed for Max - Krone is the parrot and Jack Hedley is the voice)
5. My file mirrors Bond’s in one or two ways
(He is ‘orphaned’ when the Havelocks are murdered, and , if you accept the continuity, he later ends up at MI6 - in his case at the Blayden safe house)
6. You know my name
(You should do, the answer is on all of my posts)
7. I am in a long term relationship
(he’s been with the Havelocks for 30 years according to Melina)
9. I’ve witnessed death and violence, but prefer not to get involved
(The Havelock’s murder and Bond and Melina’s keelhauling)
10. I never meet the character from my film that I have the most in common with, which is definitely to my detriment
(Locque loves his pistachios, Max would have taken full advantage of this fact)
11. I’ve an eye for the ladies
12. ... although I’ve also an eye for the men
(asks both male and female characters for a kiss)
13. Ask and ye shall (not) receive
(keeps asking for a kiss, but never gets one)
14. I thought I was being helpful but Q wasn’t so sure
(tells Bond about St Cyril’s - but there are 439 St Cyril’s in Greece according to Q)
15. I go from hero to zero in an instant
(M’s delighted with the call to the PM, until Max starts asking her for a kiss)
16. Unlike Bond, I haven’t really grasped the idea of an opening line
(has a habit of saying hello at the end of a conversation)
18. What Bond gave me isn’t what I wanted, but I didn’t complain
(asks Bond for a kiss, gets a nut)
19. ...whereas I give Bond exactly what he wanted
(ATAC to St Cyril’s)
20. Bond also gives me something of value but this time I show little gratitude
(Bond gives Max his watch at the end of the film, which he later drops in the water)
21. I demonstrate qualities that would make both a great spy and a terrible spy
(He’s great at listening and remembering what others say, terrible at keeping secrets)
23. My charm is definitely working on her...
24. ... it’s a shame she’s already spoken for
(Mrs Thatcher seems to enjoy flirting with Bond/Max, even though Denis is in the same room)
26. Three times should be enough for someone like Bond
(Max repeats ‘ATAC to St Cyril’s’ three times as Bond realises Max is worth more than one pistachio)
27. Bond doesn’t know who I am at first, but before I get a chance to introduce myself someone else does it for me
(Bond asks ‘who’s that’ and Melina replies ‘it’s Max’ followed quickly by Max saying the same)
28. Good job it has a hands-free feature!
(Bond’s intercom watch connects to Q and the PM without any interaction, which is useful as Max has no hands)
29. I grab something (potentially) lethal
(Pistachios, potentially lethal to anyone with a tree nut allergy)
30. Q will be annoyed with me for two reasons in close succession
(dropping the watch in the sea and the Minister of Defence’s annoyance with Q over the telephone incident)
Picture clues 8,17,22,25:
Number 10 - the colloquial name for 10 Downing St, where Maggie is
Perch - something that Max spends a lot of time sat on
Gold bars and blue sky - Max is a Blue and Gold Macaw
I’m particularly pleased with clue 6 which I didn’t think I’d get away!
I did have a dilemma early on as I originally planned to drop clues about both FYEO and his appearance in TLD - the parrot at Blayden is played by the same parrot, but is never given a name. There is a backstory in the encyclopedia (which was supposedly written with collaboration from EON) that Max was adopted by MI6 and ended up at Blayden’s but in the end I thought it likely that this would be disputed by many fans, and just cause confusion in the clues so I stuck to FYEO.
Anyway hope you had as much fun as I did, and congratulations on your well deserved win @Creasy47

5. I've just struck gold. (He thinks he'll be raking in the money with her purchase).

Good job again and it's over to you.
I try something obvious (which will be wrong).
