My Nanday Mordi seems to think that I'm good for 3 things in her life - food, clean cages and being a human sized scratching post. 
If she's not demanding head scritches (by shoving her entire head into my hand and waiting), then she's dropping giant hints by raising her wings, fanning them out and standing like a statue until I (like a well trained human) obey and scratch all over her wings and underneath them.
When we are watching TV a and I have my legs out straight, she is also very fond of pulling up my pant legs, and rubbing her head all over my legs, which tickles!
Just before she turned around, fanned her tail out and back up into my hand, if that wasn't a giant hint of 'scratch my new tail feathers' I don't know what was!
It certainly makes attempting to type essays interesting when the parrot is perched on your hand and trying to worm her way between your fingers.
Do I enable the behavior? Of course I do, she is my baby girl and I'd do anything for her, even if it does mean I end up with feather casings everywhere.
Anyone else have conures like this?
