Developing Young Minds

Like any normal fledgling, Wellie began to make test flights, which landed her on the floor, at first. There, she'd hop hop hop busily around, examining everything she could get her beak on.  She soon was able to hop/fly up onto a chair or sofa.  Gradually her test flights became more coordinated and better directed, and she would choose where she wanted to land.

We are delighted (to varying degrees) when she comes to see what each of us is up to.  Thus, our Scrub Jay Enrichment Program is underway.


Read to your young bird daily.


Teach basic lettering, erasing, and nibbling.


Crayons are a good way to teach colors.  Trick question: which one is orange, Wellie? 

Oh my goodness, she's right.

  2. Chigiy, I think that video will be more appropriate in the "Higher Education" section. :)
