Late Hatch Strays 100 miles off course

I got a call from a lady in Carbondale, IL who found my '09 late hatch #376.  She said the bird was pretty tired and very tame.  She flew up on the kitchen window to get their attention and then when her husband came outside, she landed on his shoulder.  They reported a lot of hawk activity.  That sounds pretty similar to the way they behave when they are stressed by a hawk and trying to get MY attention (except they have never landed on my shoulder). 

I guess I'll pick her up Saturday although it sounds like she's really become a pet to them.  They are hand feeding her and keeping her inside in a cockatiel cage (and covered her at night).  Wow!  She definitely won't want to leave.
