A. avicularia Falling While Eating

Hey guys,
I have been noticing lately that my A avicularia seems to be having trouble while it eats. A majority of the time, it’s sitting on the glass at the top of the enclosure and seems to have no issues at all. When I feed it, it’s pretty erratic and usually loses grip of the wall (and usually clings to the tongs or nearby plant). Once it is situated itself back on the glass, it usually does a little happy dance (spinning in a circle, laying webbing). During this is when it seems to lose grip and either slide down some on the glass or fall altogether. Is it normal for an avic to behave like this/have these issues? If so, what causes them?
