Jade Can't Be Bothered

This is Jade, our BIRD SIB. We are not sure if Jade is a girl or a boy. Odds are she's a girl as that is the dominant gender in our household. But we don't mind either way.

Jade is in the dining room where there is a lot of light and I think she likes (I prefer to think of Jade as a she) it a lot. In fact, before moving to the dining room, Jade was in the family room and it is a lot darker there. Although by the glass French doors, it was still not sunny at all in that room. So Jade was quiet except early in the morning when the sun comes up. That is NOT true anymore. Just turn on a movie and Jade will not stop "singing."

Jade has been with our family for over 5 years now. . . in fact, I think Jade has been with us more like 10 years. Time flies, unlike Jade. Even with the cage open Jade does not fly out. I think she did once and didn't like it much. So now when the door is open, Jade sidles up to the corner of the cage and just sits there.

Jade likes PLAIN seed only and loves loves loves millet berries. That is all. There is a PLAIN cuttle bone just above Jade's head and against the back wire, but she never bites at it. It might be too high and Jade doesn't bother to climb there.

That is Jade. If it isn't easy then she cannot be bothered to seek it out. . . not CUTTLE BONE, not FOOD, not anything.

You see, Jade maybe is a lazy bird. But she is also kind of getting on in years so maybe Jade doesn't bother because she is older now.

This is Jade HIDING from the camera. She closed her eyes and pretended that the HUMAN was not there. I might take this one and add it to my repertoire. Sometimes I wanna pretend that SOMEONE or SOMETHING is not there. It could be useful.

So there you have it. This is our bird sib Jade. A character, to be sure. . . but a pretty cool one at that.
