sitting on small wooden perches in enclosures no bigger than my garden shed
These birds are predators. In the wild they will spend the least amount of time flying as possible in order to catch their food. The rest of the time is spent sitting on a branch conserving energy. They get no "enjoyment" from flying. If they are well fed, the are quite happy to sit still on a perch 24/7.
