I can't tell if she's hurting herself or having fun. It's a very loud squeak like I would assume something would make if it fell and said "ouch". Like a dog yelping. She's running around banking up the sides of the cage and she's made this sound about 10 times now. She keeps going even after she's made it (she doesn't stop and act injured). The closest thing I could find was on Youtube. It's very similar to this but it's only when she hits the sides of the cage as she's flying around. She just missed a jump up to her shelf (about 6" up) and made it when she landed. I'll try to catch it if I can and post a followup.

Update on chin sound (sound attached)

I managed to record a few seconds of her while making the sound. She was going from her top shelf down to the bottom and made the sound when she used the sides of the enclosure to bank her turns down. It's a Quality cage with 1"x1" square spacing. (You can actually here her hit the cage in two spots) She's not very vocal otherwise.

Thanks for any help. I know it's tough with chins and she could be saying "ouch", "ouch, this is fun", "ouch, this is fun, and this is a new enclosure"...etc.
