Also birds are caught and killed on the ground all the time not just in the trees.
But see, now after being refuted, your reevaluating your condition. You said climbing, which in the common sense is not being on the ground.

Sure, birds are killed on the ground, but it's a higher chance they're in tree's than on the ground.

I suppose that's true, but at that point I'm sure the larger ground prey is also more easily eaten and they also have less of a need to go up a tree.

After they got used to their new homes they would hide in their hides on cool/warm sides and nothing more other than coming to get some water or eat or poop.
I'm not sure what you're going for. You agree that they climb, but then try to refute me by saying they only do it once or so in their life? I'm speaking in the wild, more so than captivity.
