That is agonistic behaviour towards someone whom the bird perceives to be an intruder in his/her territory. |

Does she do this more often when she's in her cage? |

yup, it's what I said above. She doesn't necissarily have to be in her cage. My African Grey will go on top of my lovebird's cage and do this to them too. It's just whatever space or person she has claimed her's for the moment. |
