I believe the answer is: Accommodation.

Accommodation refers to the process of creating a certain type of compromise that does not fully give us what we actually want.

In the case above, what Abigail actually wants is to pet the bird while holding it. But since Abigail couldn't get it, she decided to make a compromise and settle for petting it while it's in cage.
