I was carrying Cloe back to her cage and she hopped off my shoulder onto the floor I am 5'7, it made a loud thump when she did. What should I take caution of to make sure she's not hurt?

That's the danger of carrying them up high. They think they can fly sometimes. What kind of flooring did she land on? If it's something soft like carpet it should be OK. Keep an eye out for limping, black beard, lethargic behavior and blood in the poop which could indicate internal bleeding. If you don't see any of those signs after a few days then she's probably OK.

She fell on the carpet.. the floors are hollow sounding with anything. She was crawling down my leg and that's when she fell off. So it may have not been as high as I thought. Thank you!
