I was wondering why my bird is almost always on the bottom of her cage? She in no way seems ill, that I can tell. She's eating and drinking well. Her poo looks fine. She does sit on her perches occasionally, but mostly she's on the bottom, as if she's pacing. If I open a door she rushes to my hand for me to let her out. I do get her out everyday and 90% of the time she's out she's either on me or following me around. The other 10% of the time she's out I try to get her to sit on her cage, but she just insists on following me. If I leave her sight she starts yelling. Her cage is plenty big, it's about 32 inches wide, 38 or 40 inches high and 24 inches deep. She's got lots of toys (which she never plays with) and I've got 4 feed cups for her. I've got 1 for seed, 1 for water, 1 for dry treats, and one for moist treats (like boiled egg, fruit). Not that she gets ALL that in one day, but she's got enough to eat anyways. Does anyone know why she might be doing this, and is she ok? Thanks a bunch!

Hi aslong as she is not sat in a corner and look like she is drowsy with her feathers all fluffed all will be well.

From what your saying if she is indeed a she then sounds like she is going to lay an egg as female birds with no nest will display this kind of behaviour.

She sounds happy in herself if she was ill she would not leave her cage at all.
