The speed that she travels from one side to the other of her 8 ft wide cage is epic. She knows food is coming. I always feed same side because she is easier to feed that way. I tried a couple of times to put on the other side and she was quick to fallow the food. She is 16 feet now and she will sit in the middle of the cage and track the food. She does great most of the time but every now and then she strikes her food so hard she is about 5 feet out of her enclosure eating her chicken until she goes back in her cage on her own. I just sit there and watch when she does this. She is good about going back home after so is not an issue. Just don't want to be caught in the line of fire when she does.
