Question about my parrot flying off during training

I forgot to close the window first, and he got out, so now I always check the room before we start.

It's crazy how one missed check can lead to such a big problem, lol. I see this pattern everywhere in daily life. Like when I forget to set my alarm and oversleep for work. Your parrot story shows how a simple step can change everything. We often rush through routines and skip the small but important things. Now I'm gonna be more careful with my own checks, lmao.

Fiona, calling it a big problem might be overkill. Most of the time, we forget things and nothing goes wrong.

Oof, I feel called out by this whole thread. I once forgot to set my alarm and slept through a dentist appointment, so maybe I'm the problem. It really is the tiny things that trip you up.

Exactly, it's that domino effect where a TINY skip can create a HUGE mess. Like not double-checking you turned the stove off before leaving, and coming home to a smoked-up kitchen. Or glancing at your phone while driving for just a second, because what's the harm, but that's all it takes. We treat those little steps as optional until one day they AREN'T. Makes you realize how many routines are just chains of simple, VITAL checks. Forget ONE link and the whole thing falls apart.

You left the window open during parrot training? That's absolutely wild to me. Closing windows is bird owner 101, like locking your door before you leave. One slip and your pet is gone, maybe for good. It's not a minor oversight, it's a full-on safety fail. I get why fiona connected it to alarms, but this is way more serious. Your story made me double-check my own pet routines out of pure fear.
