As well as being blind and almost featherless, Vanilla, our newly aged (40-50 YR old) Umbrella, is very quiet. Oh, but you should see her dance, it is beautiful, especially when she gets tapping But, my question now is, can we encourage any sort of loud expression from her at all, or is she too old, and too hurt? It was said that the previous owners would cuff her round the head every time she tried to voice herself, so now she is so quite, perhaps that is even why she is blind, I do not know. It is very sad. We talk with her, and make little noises with her, hold her all the time, but still nothing. We love her all the same, and the house is actually louder as the music is ALWAYS on for the Dancing Queen. I wish I could post pictures of her, but it keeps saying it doesn't work Thanks and have a beautiful week.
