Nowadays they are more or less buddies. Cisco has a wide variety of sounds he likes to make. He hoots and honks, chortles, snorts and whines, and would not be a conure if he didn't screech once in awhile. If Cisco were a human, he would probably be a mechanical engineer. He is very clever at figuring out how things work, including birdcage doors.
People sometimes ask why there are so many paper clips twisted around Cisco's cage door.
And they are informed that it's the only way to keep him in his cage. He also has found out that he can slide down the iron bannister on the spiral staircase. He hooks his toenails on either edge of the bannister, and down he goes. Since it would be easier to fly down, he obviously does this just for fun. Since moving to Washington, Cisco has decided one of his favorite foods is blackberries, which grow in abundance on our property.
