Ronnie hopped out of his cage for the first time. He immediately jumped off the table where hi cage was put. I watched him all day. He managed to hop onto a low branch once but he mostly stayed on the ground around where his cage was. He seemed stupid, not knowing what to eat. He pecks at everything, sticks, stones etc.
I put the cage on the ground, thinking he would find it easier but when I returned from watering the front garden, there he was on the table where his cage was.
I decided to put the cage back on the table, hoping he would be able to get up there again.
Towards sunset he hopped onto the table again but could not find the opening to get in.
He was just too short. After what seemed like ages he jumped down again. I found a little wooden block that could serve as a step, lifting his head higher than the opening.
After awhile he decided to hop onto the table again and found the opening and started eating from the feeder while he was outside.
It took a lot of patience before he hopped in. About half an hour. I immediately closed his door for the day and put fresh food and water in his cage. He seemed quite happy and started eating immediately.
