Luna is between 6 and 12 months. Her wings look like they've been clipped but are not straight-cut so I presume they have been growing back for a few months(?) I'm just bird-minding her for a few weeks, so I'm not sure.
I've set up branches around our dining table chairs and her cage for her to walk and perch on, but she doesn't walk around much let alone run or chase. She climbs a bit - up onto a perch, or up the front of your shirt when she's trying to get to your shoulder. She's also "flown" (dropped) down to the ground a few times when I've been out of the room. She stretches her wings, and sometimes flaps about while perching, even dips into a stationary dive position with her wings out but doesn't jump.
I want to keep her fit and healthy and also be able to entertain herself so I need some games/exercises for her to do while her feathers are still growing.
Can I help her stretch her wings? Can I encourage her to run around and flap down from short heights? Any specific suggestions?
