Sage is a Single Factor Dominent Yellowcheek Lutino and is a very pretty
bird. She has a buttercream body with a slightly darker yellow crest and a
gorgeous yellow-orange cheekpatch. She is just over five months old and should
be going through her juvenile molt soon. Her tail is a little ragged but
that is normal for this age and a new one is coming right around the corner.
So what makes Sage so special....
She is by far the most loveable bird that I have come across. She likes
nothing better than to snuggle. She thrives on snuggling but she does not demand
it. I have been holding on to this one for awhile trying to decide whether
to keep her or not, but I really want her to go to a wonderful home. She
deserves it!
If you are looking for a bird that can go anywhere and you can do anything
with ...this is it. I took this bird with me on the fourth of July and
even the fireworks didn't startle it. This is the bird that I choose to
hand to kids that come up and ask if they can see my birds. There is no
chance of biting as she is just too darn sweet!
She is very well behaved. She steps up and down on command. Sage is a
quiet bird...don't expect any talking from this one. Sage interacts well with
other birds.
This bird is all about love. She likes head scratches and will often
shut her eyes as I gently rub around her beak. She likes being whispered
to. Most of all she likes people. If Sage has a fault it is that she is
attracted to shiny objects. She preens earrings, necklaces, rings and
anything shiny!
Sage equals LOVE!
I would prefer Sage go to someone that is home throughout the day or who can
take the bird with them. This bird does not belong in a cage except
to sleep. It belongs out and about on your shoulder.
She is going to make someone an awesome lifetime companion. Until then
she remains under my littlewing!
