None. This is not to say I haven't seen females kept in spacious cages do just fine. (Homers mother was)
Perhaps you need a smaller cage Brad, you sound a little stressed. Why take offence at my questioning the theory behind it?
Again, the 'territory' your talking about (captive) is a tiny space of a few square feet.
How far will it roam if you left it to its own devices outside? I bet neither would hang around in one place for long.
It's hardly surprising either sex will favor the most suitable perch within a limited enviroment.
Its your responsiblity to provide, "a spot with this kind of security ". what has cage size to do with that? The whole point of designing the captive enviroment is for the comfort and wellbeing of the animals you expect to thrive therein.
Maybe its simply that you offered better enviromental/husbandry conditions in general.
I like to think Brad. It's not intended to offend.
Is it not possible that a female brought up in a smaller cage might just be used to that enviroment and because of that prefere it to a big cage..... So not apply to every female but would apply to some! So you both might be right.
