My little Polarn seems to have trouble seeing black walls from time o time... I got the wall above my bed painted black currently, and this is the only place he has crashed so far and a couple of times too.... he kinda realizes there is a wall there to late and tries to turn up but he always flies with the belly into the wall then drops down into the bed.... I am considering painting the wall in a different color, altho he has only been here little more than a week and crashed twice... but not in the past 5. days ... so them 3 times he did crash into that wall was all during the first 4 days... so not sure if he has learnt there is a wall there.
However he for some reason dont like to fly off the bed... so thats one of the few times i actually does step up... even if it is just until I lift him up a couple of inches then he flies again. but if i keep my hand down against the bed he will stand on it and kinda wait for me to lift it... when i figured this i started to make him jump down on the floor and start his flight on his own instead, becouse I dont want to learn him that stepping up means fly around.
