Brent, if you would like me to forward you the study in which bobba is referring to (where skip references his claims from) I would be more than happy to. That being said, I agree that the reasoning behind bps in captivity is more likely due to husbandry, security, or a similar reason, rather than vantage point or "watching us". Usually you see the arboreal actions more at a younger age, rather than adults (this also lines up with said study, as it shows a significant difference for snakes under 70cm in diet. Showing those preying almost exclusively on nesting/immature birds)
It's a natural tendency for us to anthropomorphisize our pets. There's nothing wrong with that persay, but I do understand where you're coming from.
In short, no, it doesn't mean that the balls are looking for birds, or perching for our pleasure/their entertainment. But as long as your husbandry is correct, and you are offering the correct temperatures and hides, I see no reason why it should throw a red flag.
