it only does this when it sees one of us enter the room, its definitely from over excitement, and wants to play right that second. I want to let the bird out to play, but i also don't want to reinforce the behavior of "if i run around and flip and bite the cage weird ways, it gets me out of the cage as soon as i start doing this" she had a smaller cage for him at first that was laying around her moms house, but that was too small, and they managed to *somehow* while doing that behavior, wedge their wing underneath a gap between the bottom bars of the cage and get stuck on their back like this. luckily that cage is easily taken apart, so i was able to pop the top half off and free the bird without any issue.

i bought a bigger cage for it, much bigger, it hasn't gotten stuck like that in this cage yet, but i wanted to see if anyone might have advice for how to deal with this behavior and basically tell the bird "its fine to want out of the cage, but acting like that isn't how you get let out" essentially
