I often make kiss kiss sounds to my birds. If I walk by the cage, I will stop and make that noise to whichever one(s) is out on top of the cage.
Today I got a large lettuce leaf and put it on top of the cage. Both of the tiels came up to check it out. When Silver took a bite he made the same kiss kiss noise. He makes that noise to me many times. Just now it seemed as though he was saying he liked the lettuce.
Another thing I do with my birds is say their names to them as I look at them. I definitely know that Silver knows his name. In fact, he used to come to me when I called him. But, alas, he is a big boy now, and doesn't want to come when called.
