Thanks for posting this. It's very interesting. I think Keene is more than capable of this. I tell her that if she goes back to her cage quietly, she'll get out again the next day. Works 98 % of the time

That's very interesting! The closest Ruby does to that is step to another perch when I say 'Step back' when I put her food bowl in. She would always get in the way when it was time to eat so I started waiting till she stepped away before I put the bowl in.
