Now that Big Bird is in Sesame St, right next to the full flock, he’s a lot happier than he was when he was in the pack n play in the Florida Room. He was so starved for a flock that when I gave him a mirror, he wouldn’t stop looking at it. At all. Not for a second. And if he did, and something (people) scared him, he ran back to the mirror. It was sad.
He acted much that same way in those first few days in Sesame St and he’s still flighty and doesn’t really love anyone at all – but he’s so much happier and so much more calm. He even runs to the gate to see us when we come out for a visit.
Here’s a wee video of Big Bird scratching around on 5/31/20. (There is no audio on his coop camera – not that he makes much noise at all, anyway.)
