Escape artist!
Came home from work to discover a vacant perch. POJBF found a way to free herself, decided to go perch on a picture (ironically of a large eagle, though not super-ironic as all 5 pictures in the room are of raptors), and pooped all over the back of the futon. Fortunately the futon has an easy-to-wash blanket covering it.

Plus side: I like that she's actively seeking new and higher perches rather than hanging on her perch. It's an indicator that she's going more wild. Well, that and her hissing and footing my finger when I went to return her to her perch. Cranky (and viciously cute)!

Mini-cranky raptor sound amusingly adorable! Far more so than say, a cranky red-tail!

From past experiences, I know that an escaped Harris' hawk will go straight to the kitchen and walk all over pizza, and a red-tailed hawk will attempt to kill and pluck a sofa.
