I had a parakeet that learned how to pick up the gate, and then let all the birds out the cage and then when they learned to pick the lock.
I would come home and they would all be in the crib having BALL. Like screeching. when i came home they would fly to me and land on me like they were happy or some shyt.
One of the birds used to laugh at me. I just stopped locking the cage, they were clearly above being locked in. They only went in to sleep after a while.
I always wanted a parrot because they are even smarter.
Birds are natural puzzle solvers. They create nest from nothing for god sakes.
