I can definitely tell that Emerald is feeling her age. She has slowed down and spends a lot of time on her favourite perch. She is happy and healthy so I have no issues with her but she has changed over time.<\/p>\n

After the morning treats, the lunchtime fruit and the evening treats she makes her way straight to her favourite perch. After the evening treats she will stay there until bedtime.<\/p>\n

During the day she will sit in the run especially if she can find a patch of sunshine. If she is on her favourite perch she doesn’t bother to leave it just for greens. She will eat greens if she happens to be near them. She dust baths but she does spend a lot of time sitting or perching. Her face and comb are a good pink colour and her feathers are lovely and glossy. She is just an elderly girl taking it easy.<\/p>\n

She will stand on her perch in the morning and sit on her perch in the early evening.<\/p>\n

She is a creature of habit and this is most definitely her special spot. She goes up the ladder to this perch.<\/p>\n

We have had Emerald for just over four years and she was an adult girl of possibly a couple of years old when we got her. She has risen up from the bottom of the pecking order to the top since we have had her. She has always been a favourite with both her beautiful looks and her lovely nature.<\/p>\n

I hope that she continues to stay well and be part of our flock for some years to come. I can’t imagine my flock without her regal presence. She is a really beautiful girl.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
