"I'm Just VERY Hungry"

Very adorable! What a lucky little pidge. He looks like he'll do just fine eating!!

[KIPPY]

As soon as Shi put him in the carrier to take him to her place, he nestled right down for an afternoon nap.

Ah, how cute!

Pictures are adorable. Would have loved a picture of the aftermath of the feeding frenzy.

Shi, thought about a two bedroom apartment?

Veeerry fuuny, verry funny..

I think Aussie's visit to Dr. Funk and my newspaper relationship with Cage World is now getting me phone calls!!

Lady called me the other day about finding a banded pij in her swimming pool. Unfortunately, the pigeon died the day I talked to her. I was able to find the owner through my contact with Dennis, who races pigeons and helped me with Squeaks when I first found him.

The squeaker is named Marlin, after Marlin Perkins of Wild Kingdom fame. The people who found him took him to their pet store called Animal Kingdom...well, Animal Kingdom led my thoughts to Wild Kingdom and then to Marlin....TA DA!

Don't think Marlin was "placed." I understand there is an alleyway between buildings and Marlin was found there yesterday morning. LUCKILY, I was off HUEY to get the message! The employee said he was leaving at 2:00 so I had to leave my lunch until later! He was panicking because the store wasn't allowed to take in a bird like that and he was doing his best to find someone to take him before he left. Luckily, Cindy was available to help. SURE APPRECIATED THAT AND SO DID MARLIN!

I fed him last night and this morning. I had hoped that maybe one of my other pijies would be interested in feeding him like Malio did with Cindy's squeaker...no such luck! Marlin is a VERY enthusiastic eater and the nipple method works great but messssy! I add a few small seeds and he doesn't seem to mind...gobbles anything I give to him!

And, Nona, my living room sofa is very comfortable for sleeping but don't need it yet!

Just so happens that KIPPY and I bought new cages the other day. I had Aussie in mind but she still seems content in her small cage standing on her brick. She may be moving into roomier quarters soon, though!

My bedroom may be flying training central for Aussie and Marlin with Dom and Gimie. We'll see...

Hugs

WOW!!!! What a little cutie and how refreshing that he is such a wonderful eater and KNOWS where to get it!!

Thanks for rescuing him, Cindy and Shi.

Both of course!

Everything happens for a reason Shi.

The one I got has been occupied from day one. Great price to, if I had the money I would have bought two or more.

It's at the point I don't even put these cages and carriers away anymore. I just clean them and set'm up for the next one. It's been crazy lately.

Update - update!!! Shi - we need an update on how little Marlin is doing. How's everyone getting along?

[lwerden]

I second that motion!!! Updates and pictures of everyone....the whole crew...PLEASE

How is Squeaks handling all of his new friends????

Regards,
Louise

[mr squeaks]

Squeaks just went back into "daddy" mode. He's just doin' his thing.

Dom and Gimie still get out in mornings. Squeaks & cats stay with me in the living room.

Aussie and Marlin are on the balcony. Marlin is still in my cat carrier which opens from the top and side. I place the door facing Aussie so he can see her.

Aussie is molting and losing those nasty feathers!! DOING GREAT!! She's a beauty. Hope to let her fly in the bedroom but want to buy a long handled net first. I think she will be flying better than Gimie.

Hopefully, Cindy will be willing to take a few more update pictures!

I'm pretty sure Marlin is a male...you've heard the saying: "the way to a male's heart is through his stomach!" Well, Marlin is a bottomless stomach!! That bird can EAT!! AND, so enthusiastically!!

Love and Hugs

I told you this evening I would be happy to get some updated photos of Marlin.
Are we having a senior moment here?

LOL!

More senior moments........................
I had one yesterday and I actually had one today now that I think about it. For some reason I like to put everything in the microwave.

We should start a sticky on the senior moments we have.

THANKS, CINDY!! Marlin is ready for his close up...as long as there is FOOD!
