Neoow...thats a great idea! My parrots always get a long uncooked squiggly noodle when they step onto their perch in their cage before I leave my house. It's quite funny to hear on the snapping & clicking from the 3 of them when I leave, It's a really cute sound they are so busy with their noodle~

Ooo sounds like a bit of a breakthrough! I'm sure Alfie mellowed with age. If Sukei has a favourite treat then it's a good idea to throw that in his food bowl to reward him for going back in his cage nicely when asked. Might help encourage the good habit. Alfie knows that he gets a pine nut for stepping up on the perch (or arm, if he so chooses) and he gets 3 or 4 in his food bowl once he's back in his cage. Has really helped cement the routine.

Kevin..off subject..but regarding cell phones & brain cancer.. I had 2 friends, who were glued to their cell phones for work & pleasure since the very first ones ever came out...BOTH dies from Glioblastoma...I fully believe it was caused by their use of cell phones. Both were fit, ate healthy and had no underlying issues. Also, they both died in their early 50's. Just sayin,

I vote for age is mellowing him , that being said, I still wouldn't let your guard down..cause one day he may be feeling "young & feisty" again!
