reply to Chronos:
Was the human food she ate meat? Not sure, probably.
Was it dairy? Yes, this I know.
Was it egg-based? Some maybe, I don’t know.
Was it a fruit ? **Maybe… Don’t know **
Was it a vegetable DK, sorry.
Was it a grain product? **DK, sorry.
Other than the widely reported dairy product, I am not sure of the exact human food she ate. **
Did she ride some form of transportation for a long distance?
Did she commute back and forth on a form of transportation?
Was she fed by the humans?
Did she eat discarded food from the humans?
Did she get into food that was being stored or transported?
Is the story that Polly ate human food?
Is it just part of the story?
Is some of the specific food relevant?

reply to Go_Arachnid_Laser:
Is the story that Polly ate human food? No.
Is it just part of the story? Only an aside to the story that might help you guess what happened.
Is some of the specific food relevant? **No, though one thing she ate is kind of funny. But that’s not the thing that made Polly semi-famous. It is where she was for six weeks and why that is unusual and helped make Polly a star at the Zoo for five years afterwards until her death. **
Was Polly asking visitors for food somehow?
Was Polly a stow away?
Did Polly get aboard a train?
Plane?
Boat?
Sleigh?
No
No
**Yes to boat. No to others **
Was the dairy food you know of ice cream?
(not sure if that’ll actually be helpful, but I’ve a hunch that that’s what it was)
No. Carnation condensed milk.
Was Polly intentionally lured onto a boat? Unintentionally?
Intentionally.
Were the foods she was eating all canned?
Large Ship?
Battle Ship?
Air Craft Carrier?
Submarine?
House boat?
Fishing Vessel?
Military ship?

Now just tell me why a reindeer spent six weeks on a military submarine and we will be done here.**
Yikes, OK.
Was it a gift to them?
Was it a gift to someone else? (like maybe taking to someone to give it to them)
Were they transporting it?
Was it a practical joke?
Was it a scientific experiment?
