Unhappy Cage-body

[Rueae]

Ophelia is successfully handtrained. She steps up onto me and every member of my family and allows us to take her out of her cage without jumping away before she gets out of the door. She sits on our fingers, in our hands, on arms and even on our shoulders.
She seems fine out of her cage. She walks along the floor of my room (I place her there sometimes when training) and investigates. She's walked in my living room and made a "house" out of a shelf. :P
I've even taken her outside and she never seems frightened or upset by it. (She sings out there, actually)
But lately, I've noticed that when she is taken out of her cage, she'll jump right back on it. (She wants to sit on top of it or something) Also, if she is on the floor of my room, she'll now run around (Gathering speed?) and then jump, I assume in an effort to get onto her cage.
That said, while she is in her cage she does not move. D: (Save for eating and drinking, of course) She has a "favorite perch" (I place her on different ones when putting her back in her cage and she always goes back to that one) and even seems to stand in the same place each time she goes back. I've never seen her play with her toys and her cuttlebone still looks new.
I'm a little worried she will become more and more reluctant to come out of her "house" which I'm not even sure she enjoys in the first place.
Halp? .-.

Firstly... How often to you get her out? Not getting her out often enough could make her used to the routine of being in her cage. Birds are creatures of habit and schedule. Make sure to spend at least an hour a day of handling time with her if you aren't already, around the same time each day.

I try to have her out whenever I am home. I set her on a perch next to me or just have her on me. (hand/shoulder)
Training is done everywhere, because I want her to be more used to doing what I teach her in more environments.
The last couple days I've let her stay in her cage for the most part because that's what she seems to want, but I always take her out and let her run about in my room, at least. It's just that she doesn't seem to enjoy it...

How often do you change the interior of the cage? I try to change mine at least once a week. This keeps the bird mentally fit while exploring the new environment but will also keep her from forming these territorial habits.

[Rueae]

She doesn't explore it though...
I've changed it only twice. I figured it might have been keeping her from getting comfortable.

You think that if I keep moving things around, she'll start playing with her toys and such?

I thought that ight be an option. I dont know your bird as well as you do, but all my birds play with toys. But they like some toys more than others. Maybe the ones you have in the cage arent interesting enough to your bird?

Hmm...I shall obtain more then. ^^
I'll let you guys know how that goes.
