Jollibee is a Portuguese Tumbler — one of the smallest pigeon breeds in existence, known for their refined bearing and the elegant, dance-like quality of their movement. They are petite, they are graceful, and they conduct themselves with delicacy. Except, Jollibee completely disagrees with any of this information. He is bold. He is sassy. He has opinions about everything — specific things, many things, things that have not yet been determined but will be once he gets to them — and he communicates these opinions with the conviction of a bird two or three times his actual size. He is playful and high-energy, and he has identified fun as a priority and is pursuing it with full resources. He is confident in a way that suggests he has never once considered the gap between his stature and his personality, and would find the observation irrelevant if he had.
The Portuguese Tumbler’s characteristic gait is described as elegant, and almost dance-like. Jollibee’s gait is more accurately described as purposeful, opinionated, and going somewhere specific for reasons he has already decided on.
Jollibee is ready for a forever home that can appreciate a very small bird with a very large personality — someone who will find his confidence charming rather than surprising, and who understands that the size and the attitude are in no way related to each other and never will be. He is tiny. He is a lot!
