Hey, buddy, where are you? Jack calls out to Atticus.

So no feather nor foot of Atticus, the departed pet java sparrow.  

Jack is quiet.  He is not mute, but he's not exactly singing.  I wonder what will happen when I open the cage tomorrow morning to change food and water.  Will he make a break for it, to be with his buddy?

I've been thinking about this all day, as I went through the ebb and flow of teaching.  I did know they weren't tame or friendly, but I guess I let down my guard.  I wonder where Atticus is.  I keep thinking I hear him, but it's probably Jack.  (He just chirped a couple of times).  Hmm...I see what people mean about java sparrows singing more if they're alone.  He just said a whole lot.  Probably telling atticus that he'll get out when I open the cage again, to not go away without him...
