Jasmine Goes Backpacking

Jazzy agreed to go in her new travel cage with the backpack part on it today! This is the same travel cage, Adventure Pack Bird Carrier, that Jazzy only recently just agreed to go out in at all; for more about that you can see a previous post: "Jasmine Goes to the Market".




Before this Jazzy didn't like to be covered, especially by something dark colored. We've been doing laundry together, she's a great little helper, and gradually she's been getting used to all sorts of materials and colors.

Recently it has rained so much that we haven't been going out as much as usual. Today the sun shone bright and the sky was clear and nothing could stop us going out in it! Not even dark covered travel cages.

Jazzy experimented climbing around before we went out.


We were all eager and happy to be going out. Although some of us had to work on getting right side up before we could leave home.









We went to the market again, and after buying a couple of things, we stopped at the cafe. Walking there, Jazzy was chattering away. This is novel because very often when we're out she's rather quiet (which I can assure you is not her usual state as she is a chatty little girl all day at home!). It seems she felt more secure with her backpack covering.

It's a very secure cage with the backpack on, and it's very nice to use. Another great advantage of the backpack is that it protects Jazzy from the direct sun.




We like the cafe very much because they're always happy to see Jazzy and they have really cheerful cups and saucers. Every time we go they have different color combinations.

Jazzy enjoyed munching on banana and apple. She loves both, but usually when we're out she requests the banana be served first.
Once all the banana is gone, she'll eat the apple very gladly. She has us extremely well trained in most things!

We had a really great time and made a lot of new friends at the market because they wanted to meet Jazzy. After our jaunt we returned home for lunch and then invited Jazzy out again for an outing in the afternoon. Sometimes Jazzers doesn't want to join us and we leave her at home. But today she decided to come. Stay tuned for the next post to find out what we did!
