Hello Community:
I love my CAG she so sweet, but her behavior is so very odd at times.
Today she toss all her toys off the top off her cage, running back and
forth, then started climbing franticly on the sides of her cage.
"Just acting Crazy" not sure why?

I finished my phone call and went to see what was wrong. She bite
my finger harder than usual. (She never draws blood.) Her way of
alerting me to her concerns. I fed her but it wasn't time for her to eat.
She had a good breakfast. She's healthy and loved so very much.
Not sure what any of this means? Am I alone, and what action should
I take?

N.

Throwing things off of high surfaces, hear them land, look with one eye and check with the other eye.

standard operating procedure for a parrot.

My CAG when she comes out of her cage first sits on the cage door.
Then, instead of walking along the top to get to the far corner she climbs around the side of the cage instead.

no rhyme or reason I can see.

How long have you had your bird?

Pretty normal behavior. Salty will on occasion throw every toy in his cage right out the front door. We call it his house-cleaning sessions. Its very funny to watch.

Had a Blue Front Amazon. Now have an African Grey (CAG)
When Scooter The Gray is coming into season, and all her hormones are telling her to find a nest and a mate, she gets a little frantic. As others have said, watching things fall - after making them fall - is normal behavior. Scooter watches to see where her poop lands, when she's outside.
