They can scream very loudly for attention, if something bothers them, when they want to go to bed, when they don't want to go to bed, etc. They will take things apart once they figure out how to do that. Goffin's are generally very intelligent and have excellent mechanical skills. I have lived with a Goffin's for about 28 years. I'm sure others who have had goffins longer can offer more advice.
