Jasmine's Musical Chairs

Jasmine has two large cages to hang out in, and she likes both.But she also loves to be out and about round the house. She has places where she's 'officially' allowed to go (and of course places where she's not, but often goes anyway). One of her places is the tops of chairs.
We arrange them throughout the house so she can come and go as she pleases in either short hops or long flights.


Sometimes she tests her wings and flaps, with no intention at that precise moment to leave her post.




After a few test tries on her wings she'll then poise herself ready for takeoff.
















Then comes lift-off.Although this photo isn't clear, I just love the way it looks. A fantastic blur of Jazzy in the air, red tail brilliantly bright.



At other times it's nice to sit in the kitchen basking in the afternoon sun.
















Sometimes she likes to be sought after and picked up.












The tops of chairs are also a great place for having a snack.

But then, for Jazzy almost any worthwhile activity is best savored with a delectable tidbit.





And of course, the top of a chair is a great place to sit and chat and share a beer...well, Jazzy doesn't drink beer, but she sure enjoys the camaraderie.

Mooky loves perching on the tops of chairs too! Sometimes we'll find him sitting on the top one of the kitchen chairs being as quiet as a little mouse!

Jazzy is gorgeous... I also like the out of focus photo of her flying.

Great flight photos!!! Does she vocalize to let you know when she wants to be taxied or just do the begging posture?

And don't you think it's funny that they wouldn't just fly themselves :)

Hi Sharon,

I love how Mooky goes places and is very quiet when he gets there. :) Chairs are great things to perch on and they can be moved around (not yet by Jazzy, of course!) according to new flight plans.

Hi Mary,

Jazzy employs every tactic I can think of to get what she wants, and she almost always does get what she wants - eventually (as long as it won't hurt her). She vocalizes and uses the cute look in her face and does body movements to show she's dying to go wherever it is, but doesn't want to fly to get there.

It is funny that they wouldn't want to fly themselves, but Jazzy does love to fly for fun and when she absolutely wants to get somewhere. Sometimes though, she seems to just like to have contact and know she's being listened to. :)
