Chloe's Cantina & Courtyard

Princess

Soon after Edward first came into the Cantina, I saw this little visitor:

Because she looked like Edward and visited soon after, I assumed she was his significant other.

But despite the similar pattern, she is not a White-crowned Sparrow.

IMG_9004 You thought I was what?

She is a Chipping Sparrow. And her name is Princess.

IMG_9919 Princess and Edward (he is in the background mustering up the courage to talk to her). They have similar patterns but different colors.

Princess is poised and self-assured.

She stands her ground at the Cantina.

Here she is dealing with diplomatic affairs – bravely defending her tower from another bird:

Princess may have also found herself in battle, I am very sad to say. Recently I have seen her with a wounded and infected eye that I do not want to show because it makes me too sad. It may have been caused by fighting with another bird, but I don't know.

She is still eating and drinking regularly, which is good news. I wish there was something I could do to help her.

Princess is a very special little birdy.
