So, I have a problem with Paprika... She has her cage. It’s nice and big. 32x60x32, with many different perches (wood, concrete, rope, a boing, etc.) with varying diameters to make sure she gets exercise for her feet.
She originally would stay on her main wood (real branch , not a dowel) but move very cautiously. She needed to be shown where water bowl is, and would move around a little. She would slowly go up and down on the boing. Typical baby learning to perch stuff.
She is much more confident now moving around... except... after she is in the cage for a while, she will jump down to the bottom of the cage and pace back and forth. She doesn’t try to climb up. She will pace and pace. Then stops and will just jibber jabber down there and fall asleep. I keep putting her back up but she goes back down there.
I think she doesn’t want to be alone, because if I put her on my T stand, she will stay up there. But she can’t be out all the time because when I need to go to the store or pick kids up from school. So I feel maybe I spoiled her but I need to fix it. Or is it something that will change over time ?
Thanks for listening.
