I said on another post somewhere that my greys are in a macaw cage... placing different perches does help, having a bucket of foot toys at the bottom also helps, and placing different things of interest at different levels makes a huge difference. They also have areas that things are placed so if they want to feel closed around and protected, they can.

Each grey is different, and each responds differently. Mine are pretty laid back, but they have had a wide variety of spaces since they were chicks.

I have a food bowl at the bottom of his cage, and 2 pirches....he's slowly getting used to being on the bottom.  I have 3 kids that run around like crazies...he used to get scared being at their level on the bottom, but he seems to be doing better :)  I want to get him a bigger cage, well, wider, but I guess for now, he's fine :)

 

thanks!

I have a ladder down to the bottom.  He goes down to get fallen toys and carries them back up.
