I adopted Kylie recently from a woman whom I had been contacted by 6 months prior to my actually bringing her home. Kylie hasn't been out of her cage much at all in the past several years ( She is 6 now ) . She knows the step up command, but will NOT step up from inside her cage, she will run all around the cage to avoid me. The cage has a playtop and probably one day out of 7 she will come out to sit on top, and she will step up from the top. She will also fly out of her cage maybe one day a week to want attention. She is currently in the living room where Ruby is also, and when I play with Ruby She will get jealous and talk much more and say step up. The cage she came with is small ( 24 x 22 x 40 plus the playtop ) and I have a cage twice this size that is not in use at the present time ( it is dome top though ). Do you think I should change her to the larger cage and place her in the kitchen, and simply get her a java tree for the living room ? I don't have the space for the larger cage in my living room. Do you think If I change Kylie's cage she may obey the step up command better ? Or would it freak her out and only make matters worse ?
