Bird Escape - Bird Problems in Weymouth

 My bird, a red breasted conure, Peppers, always escapes from her cage.  The cage is a bit old, but still in great condition with the exception of the tap that keeps her water and food containers locked in place.  We're currently using a fairly tightly wrapped string to keep it closed for the time being.  However, Peppers is a smart bird that can't stand to be away from us for too long.  Basically, whenever she's awake is equal to the amount of time she wants to be right next to us.  Mainly right next to our ears.  

I wanted to capture the whole process of her trying to escape on camera.  I've also noticed she doesn't like us to see her escaping.  When she thinks we're watching, she pretends to eat her seeds. So instead of standing there using the video on my phone.  I left it recording and left the room.   Honestly, I thought she was a bit faster, but nine minutes later she was out of the cage.  Still pretty fast, knowing she was watching her own back to make sure she didn't get caught.
