She could be exhibiting the "drop response". The birds are mostly above her. I shouldnt say I have seen her climb all the way down. Rather I have seen her climbing on her way down, but not quite there yet. I have not seen her just drop out of her tree, either, though.
She has been ovariectomized ( surgury to remove eggs). I should have made that more clear earlier. I have moved the bird feeder, but where I have her is still in a high bird "traffic" area. Unfortunately, the only area I have to keep her outside my appartment is on a balcony where the birds are. I guess I'll have to bring her inside. I do have an awful lot of horizontal branches of different diameters that I placed throughout her enclosure. I'm pretty sure she has no problem grasping them I have also ordered a slighly smaller repatarium so that the plants will be more compacted in there to stop or at least break her falls.
Am I doing the right thing by bringing her back inside? I mean, is it favorable to keep her inside under artificial lighting with no preceived predators, (except me, of course) instead of a more natural enviornment but around those birds? What's the healthier scenario? Thanks to everyone who has responded. We (my cham and I) really appeciate it.
