My mother has an African Grey. She has started climbing down the cage and sliding down the legs of the stand. My mother does not realize she's getting down and closed the bird under the recliner this morning! We have tried everything to keep the bird from getting on the floor, to no avail. Seed guards do not work, she just climbs over them to get to the stand's legs and down she goes. We've tried putting cloths around the legs, but she just continues to climb down. She is allowed to climb all over her cage at least 8 hours, my mother is usually in the same room as the bird and talks to her often (sometimes she gets distracted by reading), and the bird has plenty of toys. She just likes getting off of the cage. Mom has tried picking her up and putting her back onto the cage, but being that Mom has difficulty moving sometimes, this is bothersome and inconsistent. The bird cannot fly, only climb. Any ideas?
