So I have two birds - Sun Conure and Quaker Parrot. Both are 17 going on 18.
The Quaker is a recent wing amputee so unlike the Sun, if she falls, she really can't do much to soften her fall. Thankfully they don't fill down a lot although the sun conure will fall off her perch on occasion if she gets startled by a sudden noise or something she sees. So in reality, the Sun is more likely to fall than the Quaker being that she is a bit skittish.
I have heard of birds breaking their legs so this is a concern of mine given that one of my birds only has one wing.
Both of them lost their balance on the shower perch (got a little two water happy) while on their shower perch while in the shower. Luckily it wasn't set high or anything like that, but I still got nervous about it. Both are fine the amputee wagged her tail after shaking her wet father's off LOL!
