Oh s/hes so cute. And young. Wonder how he got into the mall. Thanks for posting the pictures Cindy. Shi, keep us updated, and with more pictures please. Pete's right. Think this one is gonna need a feedbag. At least getting him to eat, won't be a problem. LOL.

GREAT PIC WITH CAPTION, BAYA!
At this point, Marlin's tail has GROWN and has a dark bar across the bottom. He's a "dark" pij with bars on his wings but with a checked pattern on the rest of the wings. His beak is black as are his eyes. His wattle is just beginning to turn white. Because his legs and feet are also ALL black and very slender, his full name is now Marlin Darlin' Blackfeet! However, I had him in the bedroom for flying exercise and now, I'm beginning to think that Marlin [i]maaay[i] be a Marlene!  Just a feelin' mind you, but soooo far, my "gut instincts" have been right. We'll see. He's still squeaking but continues to eat and poop well. I threw seeds on the floor to get him used to pecking like the big guys do...NO problem. I just hope he will be OK to be released. I'm trying hard not to handle him alot, so we'll see what happens. He looks like a handsome young pij now, no longer a "baby." Shouldn't be long now before he can start the "release" process. BTW, Squeaks, Dom and Gimie are not interested. In fact, they tend to attack him. Today, Squeaks and Marlin were both out in the bedroom, but Squeaks stayed in his basket. Since Marlin wasn't "in his face," no problem. I'm now waiting for the "croaker" stage! I haven't been able to get him to take a bath, but since he's outside on my balcony, I spritz him in the early afternoon. Today, I WISH I had Cindy over for a picture! He lifted first one wing and then the other to make sure I spritzed him GOOD under his wings! What a GREAT picture that would have made! Love and Hugs Shi

 They're pretty cheap now days, unless you get the top of the line of course and are SUPER easy to use. For instance, we paid about $250 for a camera a couple of years ago. The one that had the clicking noise in the videos. Everett just bought me one, one model better than the first one for $89 on Ebay and it works like a charm. So....................

However, I am NOT a photographer...my forte is POLAROID. I just bought up almost all the 600 film I could get my hands on. Also, I should have mentioned that even if I DID have a digital camera, I'm not sure about being able to "take and spritz" at the same time...effectively!  So far, as long as Cindy is happy with our arrangement: she clicks, I lunch treat, I will ask her to take any pictures needed.  SO FAR, SO GOOD! Besides, I also get an excuse to visit her lovely birds and kitties to say HOWDY!! Love and Hugs Shi
