While I was napping that day our greenwing macaw, Rosy, had walked from her cage over to the sofa where my backpack was (a "no no" in itself). Then she unzipped the zip pocket to my backpack, removed the calculator in its case, unzipped the case, removed the calculator, and carried it up to the top of the very tall perching structure on top of her cage. When I walked in the room, she was still holding it, but when I gasped in horror, she promptly dropped it and started saying "bad bird, bad bird". She knew it was wrong.
Her escapade had also included removing my wallet from the backpack, opening the change purse part, removing all the coins, and lining them up on the carpet. Thank goodness she didn't swallow one. I should not have left her out while napping but she had always been so good.
I admit, I actually did cry! I had a major meltdown that lasted for hours. For the rest of the day, she looked so guilty, and was murmuring to me "it's all right, it's all right".
