- Goku - Rainbow Lorikeet
Hi guys,
Our rainbow lorikeet Goku has begun to spend a lot of time at the bottom of his cage. There is nothing down there, just the metal bars and the newspaper to catch the droppings is in a tray below the bars. He has a single toy that hangs that far down that he sometimes plays with, but often he'll just sit in the far corner and chirp. He doesn't appear to be sick or anything; he's sitting there talking to himself, singing, etc. When we tell him to go potty to let him out he'll usually climb to one of the branches and go, then he'll quite happily sit wherever we are or at the top of his cage. All of his toys are toward the middle and upper height of the cage, not all the way at the very bottom, and also on top of the cage for when he's out.
Sometimes he also sleeps down there in the corner. Should we be worried about this? I can't imagine why he'd be choosing to sit down in that gloomy metal corner instead of on one of his branches
