Sorry, I can't help with what to do about your tiel jumping onto his cage....maybe someone else can weigh in on that.

As for jumping, both of my 'toos (Cassie and Milton) showed and show great jumping ability! Two or three feet (jumping downward) is a piece of cake for Milton. It gets your IMMEDIATE attention when you see a leaping cockatoo...because the leap is usually part of a rather loud "PRETTY PRETTY BIRD" call by a certain 'too....;)

i found this very funny all i keep seeing is a load of cockatoos jumping high enough for you to see them over your breakfast bar if you had one in your kitchen lol
