Perjo loves doing the one legged perch, is it a relaxation thing? It's not always the same leg either, is it to rest one leg/foot?

She seems to do it quite often when on my hand and just sitting in a content and peaceful state with no sounds and nothing going on in the house.

All birds do it, from ostrich to hummingbirds.

Definitely, remember birds can't sit down to take the load off, so to speak.

Take it Perjo is a very happy and relaxed little birdie. :)

She is, been home a week and she's had maybe 7-8 total minutes of temper tantrum type behavior, and it was mostly whining about taking something from her or not letting her nibble on my ear.

She doesn't make a sound once bed time arrives and the sheet is on the cage and she settles into her favorite resting spot.
