The angled ceilings is the only thing I can think of that could be causing them some confusion. Harley, my Zon, actually hurt himself last week after flying into the corner of our computer hutch. Unfortunately there are so many places they can crash into that making everything softer isn't feasible. Maalik used to come when called at our old place, but here he'll just sit and look at me. We've been in our new home 5 months now, and they're still consistently having issues.

Oh my! That must be a bit off settling for you! I am not sure, maybe the angled ceilings are something they have to adapt to? Don't have much advice to give, but if it were me. I would take them one at a time , have them perch on my hand, and slowing walk around the room, near the angled ceilings slowly, so they can see them or even tap them with their beak if they so desire, all the time, explaining to them . something like " look funny wall" maybe run your hand on them so they can see the difference? It might just be throwing them off cause it's new, sometimes angles are difficult to see. I tend to do that with one of my greys as we walk around the house, saying look up high! I stretch as far as I can just to give her a different view even tho she can fly, she can't quite go as high when flying vs being carried. Let us know how it goes, keep us posted! One afterthought...Will they try to land on you if you call them? Just an idea.... or some soft comforters/ blankets on the floor for the time being?

Ever since we moved into our new home our birds consistently crash land. At the other place they were able to maneuver with ease. That home had 8 foot ceilings, and our new home has high angled ceilings. Whenever Maalik crash lands, which is often, he says, 'Are you okay?' Guess I've asked him that questions so many times that he now has to ask himself. My Panama Amazon also crash lands. Both birds are great flyers, so I'm not certain what's going on or how to help them.
