A very cute pigeon!
I like the name and it fits!

An anwsome save there Victor. It was very kind of them to contact you, although some might not view it that way.

Wow, the squirrel is VERY neat! Of course, I am very interested in the Squirrels... I also have never seen a black one, are they common in your area?

Hi Hilly, Good to talk to you again. Yes, they are fairly common in the Midwest, though the brown fox squirrel is more abundant here. Most of the squirrels that have co-existed around my place have been the more common ones. Around the corner, up the street, a few blocks there have been some of the black variety, and I have always wished one or some would come down to our place. Last year, Little Critter found us.


Matt, the brown squeaker, discovered seeds yesterday! After his bath, I placed him on a lawn table in the sun to dry and soak up some rays, and a few minutes after, I saw him picking at the seeds and drinking water. A joyous moment! He enjoys jumping up on his perch now.

It was good of the mechanics at MAT bus to contact me. They could have just ignored it, or thrown it outside.Matt has been here a week now and progressing well...and growing, but stll squeaking.

Oh, and IF he is a she, Mattie it shall be, Lady Tarheel!

Yay! He's eating seed! That's great. He's doing well in a weeks time. How does he like his bath? I love watching them bathe.

We have been keeping Matt in our spare room in its own

cage at night for now and this morning I noticed his small seed cup half full. I

just assumed Matt kicked it out but I was wrong. There was very little

spillage.

This morning I placed Matt in our late squirrel Zippers original outdoor cage

which is a former ferret two tier cage. I hung it outside the aviary with

bungee cords to hold it secure in place and replenished the water and seed

bowl with small parakeet seeds. The squeaker started pecking away just as if

it was his last meal. Gosh it looked gooooood! Made me want to have some

of what he was eating! He is sunning outdoors enjoying the near 70 degree

temps.

Jay 3 as far as baths are concerned, well, he has had three that were given

to him. In a few days (his next) I will see if the little brown one will handle a

bath on his own.

I took a couple of pictures of Matt a while ago and will post the soon. He is

about 30 days old now I would guess.

Gee, I hope it is a boy!

Victor, try to get a picture of this baby's tail feathers. In this picture (I couldn't get anything but the thumbnail posted) I THINK I see some dark/blueish specks in the tail. If that's so, then yes, you DO have a MATT......

[Lady Tarheel]

Hi Victor, glad to hear Matt is doing so well and thanks for the "Mattie" but just so long as he is healthy, the name doesn't matter! Sounds like he is a real love. Lucky you that he has caught on to eating so fast. We have had a few do that and it sure is nice.

[Jay3]

Hi Victor. We want bath pictures!

[Victor]

OKIE DOKIE Rene and Jay.I will work on it.

I posted a couple of Matt's tailfeathers. They can be viewed in my profile album here on Pigeon Talk. I also added one of him eating seeds and up-grades of Tooterville.

Also posted pictures in Web shots collection.

I'm so happy Y'all named that bird after me. It'll be a good one; It comes naturally with the name. Becky tells me that You all had a cool pigeon that you named matt; so I ASSumed that you named it after me.


But if its a hen we'll have to have a talk. :P

Thanks Renee. Another boy, huh?

Brown pigeons do not generally come with the colorful irredescent colors around the neck, do they? I don't think so though.
