Sadie

This is my "old woman" Sadie.  It's a good thing

I named her a girl's name because eventually she started

laying eggs.  She hasn't done that in quite a few years,

and for that I'm grateful.  She tried valiantly to hatch

them and laying takes a lot out of a bird.

Sadie will be 21 years old on Monday!!  I'm

thinking of taking her out for a drink since she

will be legal. Do you think people will look

at me strangely?  Sadie used to talk, but

quit a few years back.  I guess she

got tired of trying to express herself!

She said the usual, hello, pretty

bird, etc.  Only a few things, but they

were pretty understandable.  She also

wolf whistles.  Don't all birds??
Well, OK, Lili and Luna don't.

A year ago she had a broken leg.

That was an experience.  She had just

had her wings clipped and tried to

fly.  She twisted her leg on the landing.

When I get her up in the morning she's usually

hanging on the cage door.  I tell her to get off and

she climbs down and sits on the perch

until I open it.  When it's time for bed

I tell her to get back in and she walks in

all by herself.  Which is more than I 

can say for Lili!  Luna usually hangs out 

inside her cage so I don't have to

worry about getting her back in.  She's

more cooperative than the other

two anyway.  So tomorrow I'll introduce

the dogs and then I'll get back to the cards!!
