The Shoulder Tourist
Your Sagittarius bird has a travel itinerary, and it starts on your shoulder. The hallway, the bookshelf, the view from the top of the door: all must be seen, supervised and commented on. Ruled by Jupiter, this is the parrot with the booming laugh, the cockatiel who whistles at every new room and the budgie who greets a new perch like a new country.
As a mutable fire sign, your Sagittarius loves change, variety and a good joke. They are free spirited, funny and endlessly curious about what lies beyond the next doorway. Life with them is always an adventure, even when the whole trip is only to the hallway mirror and back again.
