This day really started differently.
My wife is up in morning tending chickens then getting ready for work. I 'm getting all the parrots down stairs, to their perches for their breakfast as usual. Then make first cup of coffee. By then poppers is usually done eating and wants to walk into dinning room and sit with me while I have coffee. Not today...which I thought ok she wants to hang in living room perch. Nope.
At that time my wife was out door on her way to work, grabbed her 2 foot high a 2 foot wide hand bag ( yea it's that big) and headed out door.
I watched her head down drive ( which we have a long drive) suddenly she brakes and backed up.
Thought she must have forgotten something.
She comes in " MICHAEL !!! Come get your Damn bird!! " now I'm barely awake and not at all comprehending this... Says " poppers, she's in the truck!! ". I thought .." what the h...how the h...oh I don't even want to know... "
Apparently she climb inside my wife's hand bag and my wife just grabbed the bag on way out...
I would have loved to have been a fly on the window when she looked over and seen poppers on seat beside her...!!!
Later texted me from work... " poppers owes me a new hand bag, that means you!...reached in bag for phone and got a hand full of poo.!! "
I wanted to text back rolling on the floor laughing, but I'd just end up rolling on the dog house floor howling....
So just said " yep...ok hon! "

Must admit of all the years ( decades actually)
That I had parrots, never had that one happen before. Parrot proof your house and all, and you discover something new.
She's safe....though fully flighted, she's unable to fly...bumb wing she suffered from first when really young with first parronts. She can't extend left wing. Other than that perfectly health and full of new ideas.!!!

You have no idea! .....one time found her way in my office and shredded up a whole lot of unopened copy paper for printer! What a mess.
door to office is always shut right now.
I buy packing paper by the reem for the bottoms of my cages cuz it's clean and Bird safe. I had a big stack under my macaw cage so it was out of sight yet still handy. Yesterday I pulled some out and somebirdy had chewed the back end off every sheet and left a big pile of shreds!

That sounds more like female hormone behavior than attacking people. Nice dark nest site in a purse. I have to keep dog carriers in a different room from birds because I have couple that want to nest in there. Any dark space is likely to be very interesting to a lot of adult parrots. Some will come out blazing and ready for a fight if you disturb them. Although my females that are bonded with me tend to act like they want me to join them in the dark place.

Oh dear! I can imagine my wife when an Amazon were to jump out of her purse in truck!
That's very true, my female does like dark places. Mainly closets.....she once chew up a mess in closet like she had a nest. Man did she hiss when I wanted to get her out.
