I did, but reading about it and doing it are sometimes very different

I don't think she's knocking the food out of the cage for attention, she's
sorting through the food bowl looking for her "favorite thing to eat."
She doesn't care much to eat particular parts of the food I give her, which
is a combination of pellets, "trail mix" type, fresh veggie and fruits.
