So I was having troubles with my ammies always getting into the treat bag, they would climb down thier playstand across and down thier cage to the shelves and drawers underneithe. They'd pull open the drawer and yank open the treat bag and munch munch munch.
Well today after i gave them some treats i put the treats in a plastic jar and set it across the room since even though they are unclipped my ammies don't really fly. Well i am sitting in the living room and my husband stops and says, "Hunny, birds." I look over and there is Ianto crawling down his playgym, an down the cage looking for treats. Well he does his usual check in the food drawer and when unable to find them climbs back up and chitters with his mate Tosh. After a few minutes i could see he had hatched up a plan and was climbing down his gym and to his cage again. He continued down to cage onto our large dog kennel, then to the dinner table which he crossed over a bunch of boxes i had out needing shipping and then onto a chair then to the kitchen counter and found the treat jar which he was sure if he grabbed by the lid he could drag all the way back to the cage. I was laughing to hard watching him drag this jar almost as big as himself across the counter back to the chair where im sure he would have tried to carry to the table and so on. I was laughing so much i fogot to take a pic but i thought i would share. I figured he earned a treat for his adventure and gave him two (since he always grabs two and takes one back to his mate Tosh, which i never understood cause if he finishes his first he just steals hers from her anyways) and he headed back to his cage with the perfect look on his face like he was saying, " HUNNY LOOK WHAT I GOT!" lol

That's funny story and yes, I admire Amazons for their "skills".
