Tales from the lagoon ~Momma Jade and the pelican Flock
Tales from the lagoon ~ Episode- Momma Jade the Dolphin And the Pelicans
Momma Jade is one of the dolphins I have spent the most time with over the past 4 years. She is very sweet with her babies. I have watched her for countless hours teach her kiddos with love and patience. She is very affectionate always giving kisses and hugs to her kids. She is an amazing fisher girl too.
Lately she has been having a lot of fun with the pelicans. And there have been a lot of them! The flock comes in to chase the fish getting away from the dolphins. Often there is a bird pile up as Jade comes up with a fish. Sometimes she will toss a fish into the flock and see what happens, other days she wants the fish all to herself.
She never seems to be annoyed with the pelicans in her face. Just like with her kiddos, she is patient and goes with the flow. She shows the kids how to engage with the birds too, so they have the information on to handle the long beaks without getting injured.
Stay tuned for more tales!
