After cleaning her poops on the floor, I took the rag out to wash. I closed the metal grille sliding door. I have netting over the 1st pane as we only use the 1st pane. The 2nd and 3rd panes are fixed and are covered by the glass sliding door.
As I was washing the rag, Cocoa flew to the curtain then climbed over to the metal grille sliding door. She squeezed her way thru in between the metal grille and the glass sliding doors and found her way out of the house. She did that within a few seconds which was pretty fast. She was sitting on the 2nd pane metal grille door facing me. Actually she wanted to come to me. She always does that when I go out.
My wife called out loud. I told her not to startle Cocoa. I calmly walked to Cocoa and asked her to perch on my finger. She stepped up and I slowly walked back into the house.
This is the 3rd time she got out. The 1st and 2nd were over a year ago. We are going on vacation tomorrow. If Cocoa decided to bye bye us, I think we have to cancel our vacation.
I have the confidence that she won't fly away. She has been playing regularly outside the house and has never made any attempt to fly away while I was washing my car or cleaning the water filter or changing my aquarium's water. Of course she was on harness then. I gave her 20ft line of freedom to play. She likes to hang around on the clothes rack playing with the hangers.

I'm very happy she didn't fly away she is such a wonderful friend.
