They are territorial that is why. So explains Robyn: They don’t leave their perch as the perch is theirs. They are so territorial they won’t leave to prevent another from taking their perch.
As many times as I have been there – I have never seen two together like this. I have seen their handlers pick them up for demonstration purposes, otherwise they don’t leave.
