Jason is a true bird of passage in our family; you see him here at my place one day and he’s there with my brother the next day.
A bird of passage, like my cousin Jason, is always at ease because he has no troubles and responsibilities… a real free bird!
There is certainly a lot of difference between a ‘jail bird’ and a ‘bird of passage’, for example, you are sure to see the jail bird either at his place or in the jail but you can never be sure where you’ll see the bird of passage next or you ever see him at all.
