Of course, like any new relationship it wasn’t all plain sailing. He clearly felt that he wasn’t getting all the attention he deserved, and would peck my ear to tell me so, and in return I wasn’t altogether comfortable with him pooing on my shoulder, but after several weeks we reached that point where we were just happy in each other’s company, albeit in the confines of the garden shed. But in spite of our mutual affection, I knew that it was just a summer romance and inevitably could never be anything more than just that.
Jack was a free spirit, and as much as I could see the affection in his little beady eyes, I loved him too much to keep him a prisoner. It was never going to be easy, letting go, but in the end it was the right thing to do.
There will always be a special place in my heart for Jack, but he is now with a new woman; Diane. It is her shoulder on which Jack will poo for the next few months, her ear he will nibble affectionately, and from her aviary that he will eventually fly to freedom, and live the life of the magnificent Jackdaw that he surely is.
The End
