Sadly she has passed on but I have a Usambara youngster just a little bigger than yours and a Tete (chocolate version) around the same size.I have always kept them as semi-arboreals and find they do use that extra height. They have always had a bad reputation for being aggressive but I always found they were more likely to run and hide when disturbed. The best advice I can give is to always remember what they are capable of when feeding, cleaning etc. and use tongs for removing rubbish.
