Okies, so after Jack had gotten his head stuck in his cage he started plucking his feathers on his chest out to the point he looked like a raw chicken! We ended up calling a Vet that Deb knows and took him there this past Friday. He looked way worse then because he had pulled out basically all his outer feathers besides on his wings, head and tail. We had recently pulled up all the carpet in the living room to find out that there was hardwood floor, so that might of freaked him out. Also his old cuddle buddy was getting old so Mom bought him a new one, well he really didn't like it. Took that out and he seemed to be getting the feathers around his head back from the previous session. At the vet they said that he was in perfect health conditions except the plucking and that we were feeding him excellent food (Zupreem). Jack was working his charm because the vet and her assistant was like in love with him lol. Said that hes the most well behaved Quaker they've handled =D yay! I hope that Jack gets better, he isn't quite plucking them as much because before Mom was changing the papers a couple times a day and had to leave the dust buster next to Jack's cage because of all the feathers floating around. Any who hes pulled the feathers on his legs off.. I just hope he gets better soooooon!

I went with my Mom to Mount Pleasant tonight to go see an elderly lady who needed some help. It was nice to help the lady out. Her name was Mable and she's going to be 97 tomorrow, I'm amazed! I can't help to be sad when thinking about elderly people that old. She was telling me about her husband which she said was the Best Man in the World because he wouldn't let her work and stuff like that. I was like awww...her daughter apparently had died a few years ago to cancer and shes still kind of grieving for her. She said that she writes poems and stories which is how she started to tell me about when her one and only daughter was born and how she had caught some kind of baby fever that had killed two of her neighbors from having their babies and how she had prayed to God to let her live to raise her child. She had felt his presence in the same room and she had known that he was there and had answered her prayers, I was so touched. While all this happened Mom heated her up some stew and we chatted to her while she ate. Mom helped get her cleaned up and then we tucked her into bed. She had thanked Mom for coming which was heart-warming but also sad at the same time. Not that we did a good deed for her but that some people take it for granted and figure that she shouldn't be well taken care of because she's old.
Anyways we came home and I went upstairs to my room where I had left Jack. He didn't make a peep when I walked into my room and so I figured that he was probably asleep. I walked over to his cage and whispered his name, still not a peep. I kneel down and look in and see no Jack. I look around and noticed that the latch on the place that you stick the food bowl was open, I had forgotten to make sure it was latched from earlier and he had gotten out. I started calling out his name thinking maybe he would make some kind of noise or start moving around. My worst thoughts were that he could be anywhere since I left my door wide open and he knows how to climb stuff and go down the stairs. I walked towards my door and there he was sitting on top of my dresser next to my Tv. He looked pretty freaked out and his feathers were a bit roughed up. I figured he probably climbed up the cords of my Tv or lava lamps and got onto the dresser. He was so cute but I'm so glad that he's ok, scared me! I feel kind of bad too because all day I was pissy with him for being annoying and plain just not being quiet! I gave him plenty of kisses though haha!

Today nothing major happened, I just felt like writing a blog. Coming home early is nice and I love having a whole hour to just relax before work, or even just have the rest of the day off. Well Mrs. Wheeler still isn't back but we did actually have work to do today. We also had a Senior Class meeting and nominated people to be on the King and Queen's court. Here is who all got nominated:

Jean Mosey

When I got home from school Mom was there and while I was eating my turkey and cheese sandwich Jack was being noisy some what. I was starting to get a headache and with him squawking I didn't feel like hearing it. I told him to shut up but he doesn't know what that means so it didn't work. Mom started talking about how she's been thinking that maybe we should sell Jack because anymore I seem to get annoyed by him, which is true. I love playing with him when he is quiet and such but when I get home and that's all I hear is him squawking I don't even want to play with him. She went on about how we could put an Ad in the paper and whatnot or even see if this Culligan man that Deb (lady who took care of Jack while on vacation) knows would want to buy him since he apparently has been wanting a Quaker. I just don't know, I like Jack I just wish that he wouldn't be so noisy I mean sure I can't expect him to be quiet all the time, he's a bird and thats how they communicate. Its just I don't know how to make it better without selling him. I'm going to see if spending more time with him will help. Now this wont be too easy on the nights that I work but I'm going to try to do it and see if maybe he becomes more friendly and quieter.

YES! It finally came today XD after a week! But hey, at least they're here. Pretty excited, my tablet is awesome! I absolutely love it. I haven't really played with it much because I was just going over the basics/manual and whatnot. Along with that Jack got his wings and nails clipped yesterday. He looks like a lil' baldy now since he doesn't have his long flight feathers XD. And since he was so good we got him some new toys and treats. I also found this play set thing that we bought him. He is still kind of getting used to it and figuring out that its not going to bite him. Anyways I ordered some stuff from Avon too and that we should be getting today =P.
This is a video of my Quaker Parrot, Jack. I don't remember where I had gotten my wristband but I had taken it off and gave it to him to play with. He didn't want it touching him for some reason, thinking it might bite him? I don't know XD, anyways, I believe he is maybe 6 months old in this? He is about 2 years old now. Don't hold me to it ;). Anyways sorry that its so dark, I'm not sure how to lighten it up if it is even possible. And yes I have a messy desk lol
