Why does my Amazon fall off her perch at night?

Dear Jordan,
i have an Amazon, blue front, that has just recently started to fall of the perch at night. Nothing has changed in the cage, her mate does not fall, and she seems to move a little sluggish and uncoordinated when i see her in the day. Do you have ant idea why this is happening to her?

just Mrs. G perching and sleeping …how does she do it with only one foot on the perch???

Dear Ricardo,

Yes, this might seem frightening to hear a thud in the middle of the night and find out your parrot fell off her perch.

There can be a number of reasons your parrot is falling off her perch at night.

could there be something close by alarming the bird at night.. a noise, an animal walking by?
are the perches too slick
is your parrot moving around her cage and misgauging where things are because maybe you moved things around? [this is where a simple night time cage would help]

If you are not able on your own figure out what can be the problem seeing the vet would be in proper order to make sure your parrot does not have any deficiencies or possible seizers.

I sure hope it is nothing major that was the issue, but it is always a good thing to have a very knowledgeable bird vet handy on your list of important numbers.
