When perching on a branch, it's essential to show consideration for the delicate ecosystem of the tree's inhabitants. A butterfly, for instance, may have its antennae tangled in your hair, or a bird may be nesting nearby, and you wouldn't want to disturb it.
1. Check for any nearby creatures before perching.
2. Use a soft, padded perch to avoid causing discomfort to the tree's inhabitants.
3. Avoid perching on a branch that's too thin, as it may snap under your weight.
4. Don't perch for too long, as this may attract unwanted attention from nearby predators.
And, of course, always be prepared to take off quickly in case of an unexpected storm.
