Cavebird's claws gripping stalactites. I'm going to investigate a fusion of cave rock formations and the creature, as the slowly forming stalactites could conceivably secure the creature's feet to the cave ceiling permanently. This would require the animal to live for a long, long time (an average growth rate of a stalactite is 0.13 mm a year) which is possible if the creature has a very slow metabolism. As the cavebird seldom moves, apart from occasionally harvesting its webbed nets, a slow metabolism wouldn't affect its ability to function and survive.
