"I'm Just VERY Hungry"

[mr squeaks]

I, TOO, wondered, at times, if that bird would come up for air!! I could hear him snuffling and squeaking, so figured he was OK!!

You got that picture just RIGHT, Baya! That's exactly how he acted and sounded!!

Wiping his beak and under it with a wet washcloth was like wiping a young baby's face! He put up with it but was in a hurry to get back to EATING!

Hope you are feeling better, Cindy!!

Love and Hugs

Shi and Marlin Darlin' Blackfeet

P.S. Marlin gets the seeds now but KIPPY and I get to enjoy the wine!

That's right. No alcohol beverages served to our fine feathered friends.

Here are a few updated photos of Marlin enjoying his visit at my place (2008/08/30)


Showing off my wings to Kim



Helping Kim pick out the right tool
(I was being watched very carefully that I just point & NOT pick up any tools)



Hummm, this looks interesting
(I was told I could LOOK but couldn't taste)

Forget the wine. Forget the little seed dish
(Check out my cute little black feet



This has been quite an exhausting, BUT enjoyable, day!

What an adorable little guy. In the last shot he looks tuckered out - or, maybe he snuck in a sip. Cindy the pictures were great as well as the captions.

Shi, you have done a marvelous job raising Marlin Darlin' Blackfeet. He is cute as a button.

That is one content pijie! Good pictures Cindy!

So cute. Cute little feet.

Those were great shots, and I love the captions. Perfect. I really like his cute little black feet too. Does he know he's a celebrity? I see you got him a larger feed bag also. Bet he loves it. LOL.

Love the pictures. Love the captions.

Those little black feet are soooooooooo cute!!!

Those are wonderful pictures of Marlin Darlin Blackfeet. He is quite the exceptional pidge. And I was admiring the way his wing feathers look like someone put black rickrack along the edges. Most unusual! Thanks for the pictures. He is a cutie.

Just a quick update on Marlin etc....

He continues to do well...eating and pooping...as always. I now give him exercise flying time in the bedroom for short periods of time.

Since he will be released with Cindy's flock, I am really trying not to handle him a lot! VERY difficult!

Cindy was over the other day and I brought out the bath pan. I had to swish the water and then put him in before he would stay. This was his second pan bath. He lifted up one wing and I splashed him, then he lifted up the other wing for the same treatment! On the days that I spritz him, he does the same thing. "Under my wings, please!" he seems to say. Hopefully, Cindy and I can arrange a camera shoot when we do another bath!

MANY THANKS, AGAIN TO CINDY FOR THE PICTURES AND TO BAYA FOR THE CAPTIONS!! ALL ARE JUST GRRRREAT!!

It's mostly Shi's fault.
She didn't tell me we were stopping by her place to give marlin a bath until after we left my place.

And of course neither of us thought to go back & get the camera.
