Where, in the world, is, Carmen Sandiago?

I live in a home with white walls, white trim, and white blinds. I also have a white bird about the size of a soda can. So when said bird goes walkabout, I spend hours going through my home playing "Hide and Seek" searching for her two tiny orange cheeks.
As an added new feature, bird has fallen in love with my new (of course) white shelf.
After spending far too much time searching for a tiny bird, I finally find her NOT on the the shelf, NOT at her favorite window, NOR even in her (also white) cage. So where I find "mommy's emergency food source"?

I suck at Where's Waldo.
