Mine is definitely a perch potato! Macaws are sort of known for being big babies, always wanting to be held and carried everywhere; but a CAG? Mine rarely leaves his perch, or sofa, or play area or wherever you set him down. Lazy and not overly adventurous -- happily contented to just stay put and play where he is. That's not to say he won't chew & destroy stuff (toys or not) within in his easy/lazy reach... And like a cat, he takes joy in just knocking things onto the floor. I learned a long time ago not to play 'pick up' games with him! lol

Our birds are same way, some days I wish I could just have perch potatoes. They all take a break from the chaos at around 2:30pm everyday but 3ish rolls around and it's time to get the party started again.

Alfie isn't too lazy. He'll shell his own nuts quite happily. And stay put? Pah! I wish! He flies where he wants, when he wants. In fact sometimes I offer him a step up and he'll fly instead.

My grey is so lazy... ...that he lifts one foot in the air and says "step up" when he wants to be held. Now, if he wanted, this bird could fly over to the sofa or even slide down his bar and hit the floor in less than a second and walk over to me. (Technically, I suppose I appreciate this laziness -- nice to know he can sort of stay-put). But he's using his foot like a hitchhiker's thumb! How lazy is YOUR grey???
