My U2 is your basic velcro model. My grey is friendly but on her terms.
  If the grey thinks her food dish is getting too empty or she wants 
some of what we are having she asks for it by saying "please". The U2 
will go in her cage, sit on the food dish and scream if there isn't 
anything she wants to eat. She then will begin flinging her food. They 
both communicate, but on way different levels.
