Where it's offered can matter more than what is offered

Oscar and Marvin both like interacting with things that are hung near their perches, but Jericho isn't as keen on that configuration.

That said, Jericho also spends much more time on the floor (or other flat surface) than my other two, so perhaps it shouldn't be a surprise that's also where he enjoys his enrichment.

His water bowl is used more when it's on the floor, and 1x2 pine boards are quickly splintered there as well (he also likes carrying them around)...

(the same wood is largely ignored when hung)
​

Does anyone have other examples that illustrate where can be more important than what?

Ripley won't eat veggies if I put them on the bottom of his cage, but will if it's put on a platform on the outside of his cage.

He also largely ignores hanging toys on the inside of his cage, but outside his cage he will play with them.

He will play with toys on the bottom of his cage too but only if they are laying on the grate

KiKi will only play with hanging toys in her cage if they are against the bars of her cage and doesnt touch them when out of her cage.
