"Hey! Hey! Pull over to the left." This is the latest instruction from Mitt-mitty-mitt, as the bird has begun to call herself. She is not much of a good car rider, especially in cold weather. She is too interested in drilling holes in the interior and trying to undo the door lock knob. It is difficult to drive with a large bird loose in the car, so I avoid it. It is also difficult to drive with a large bird in a carrier in the car, due to the loud protests and violent escape attempts. We avoid going anywhere in the car, except up and down the long driveway- and even that is too thrilling if the dogs are out. There is no place to pull over to the left. The driveway is only one lane, with no shoulder.
"Awww!", said in the same tone as a little kid who watches out the window as you pass the ice cream drive-through without pulling in. I ask her why we need to pull over, but just get mumbling. Don't let the bird drive the car!
