Shi,

What a great rescue! Marlin is adorable and that picture of him standing on his toes to gulp his food has got to be in the next photo contest.

You are acquiring quite a nice little family.

Certainly took you long enough to get ''into'' it, Shi ... but you have become a terrific Pigeon Mommy. Now if you could convince Squeaks that the little one is HIS ... maybe you could get some help raising the baby.

Marlin is such a cutie. What DOES Squeaks think about the baby?

You're welcome, Maggie.
It's always fun to get pictures of the little ones.

Gorgeous set of wings you have there, Marlin. Won't be long before your zipping around!

Thanks for the new photos, Cindy! Marlin is quite the cutie, and I'll bet Shi is loving every minute of raising him.

Cindy and I had just returned from enjoying our lunch.

Cindy has pics of Marlin enjoying his!! What a glutton!!

AND, today, he drank water on his own AND, at dinner, he ate a few seeds on his own!! I am so excited! He'll be moving to the BIG PIJ cage!!

Squeaks just ignores everybody, except me. He just returned to "daddy" mode, so is on his nest almost all day!

MANY THANKS FOR THE PICTURES, CINDY!!

Love and Hugs
Shi

* It was great. After Marlin was settled in the carrier I suggested putting a little water in there for him.
Shi wasn't too sure about that idea but decided to give it a try.

Marlin was standing right by where she placed the water. He stuck his beak in & began drinking like a pro.
Too bad I had already put my camera away because the surprised look on Shi's face would have been a priceless photo.

I'm glad to hear he's beginning to eat some of the seeds on his own.

** Yep! He's ready for the BIG bird cage.

*** You're welcome.

Cindy
