Dropping from halfway down onto her butt feathers? Ouch. Casper likes to slide down the vertical bars, sometimes head first. He climbs down the horizontal bars tail first to his food bowls, when he thinks he is close a little leg reaches out behind him to try and feel the bowl. Because there are very few cages in the Amazon canopy I can only presume that he is not acting instinctively but has taught himself. He does tend to reach the floor from the seat of the sofa by hanging off the edge by his beak and dropping onto his butt feathers. We have suggested that flying down might be a better option but he likes to do it his own way.
