Falling?

[Kalixe]

Recently brought home a green cheek. I'm wondering if anybody has experienced their fid falling to the bottom of the cage when playing with toys or if I should be worried. She never falls when on her perches; only when climbing on her toys. It almost seems as though she loses her footing. After she falls she makes her little "opps" noise and climbs right back up to her toy to continue playing. She was at the vet today for a new bird checkup. Clinically healthy. Vet says she is in excellent shape. Any imput would be greatly appreciated!

My JoJo crashes to the bottom of his cage at times, more so after having his nails cut back quite a bit.

Yes Peep does that too, especially after a nail trim.

Think of them like a baby/toddler.. they tend to be clumsy until they get a bit older. If you hear them fall just make sure they haven't hurt their wings or feet.

My conure used to do that all the time. As long as there are no signs of illness (extended periods of fluffed feathers, lack of appetite, etc) it should be totally fine ^^

SHeldon would fall quit often when we first brought him home. he would be playing mostly and just get carried away. It a miracle he made it to a year old. LOL. He hardly falls now. When he does, he looks around to see if anyone was watching, and then crawls back up and continue playing.
