When putting your bird back in his cage put something special in there first - favorite food, toy, etc. Let him see the special item, then put him in the cage. From my experience this teaches them that the cage is a wonderful place and they'll start to go into their cage by themselves.
Leave the cage door open when you have the bird out. When he's tired, thirsty, hungry, whatever, he can go back into the cage himself. He learns the cage is not a prison, it's his room. A couple of days ago my daughter told me Ducky (her sun conure) got tired of playing with her and walked back to his cage for a bath. Then he took a nap in his cage.

Partied too hard the night before and crashed in the food bowl.
