New Baby - Miss Mamie


And boy, is she cute! Picked her up this am from the After Hours Clinic. She had been rescued by a police officer who said she was standing in the middle of a busy street. The really amazing thing is that the street intersection is exactly where "our bridge" is so I guess she is one of our "bridge babies".

She weighs 148 grams, appears healthy (was checked by vet) and is a prolific talker and wing wagger. Named her Miss Mamie.

Here she is.

You have a cutie there. Good for that policeman, he is a hero in my book. Miss Mamie is in good hands now.

I was thinking of Miss Mamie on the "Walton's" when I named her but Ike's Mamie fits right in.

This one makes squeaks unlike any we've ever had - sorta a cross between a chirp like a songbird and a squeak like a baby pigeon with a little dove whistle sound thrown in for good measure. She is so cute. I am putting seed and water in her cage and this morning she tried out both. I actually think she was trying to take a bath so we may give her one in a day or so, but she is still so tiny. She is solid black and it is about the deepest black color I've ever seen.

She makes you happy just being around her.

Mmm, maybe her name should be Ms. JOY?

Do you have a current picture of her? She sounds beautiful.

Love, Hugs and Scritches as always!

Well, today has been kinda a down day with Moxie's surgery, Cindy's problem with Pesto and our problem with the baby Corky, so I thought I'd post something more upbeat. Our Miss Mamie at the dinner hour. I mix the food and Lewis feeds it and this is what she was doing while waiting for me to finish. She is a real cutie.

Surgery?


Oh my, is that a young pigeon trying to get food? I KNOW THIS IS NOT RIGHT, but it looks like you grabbed its little beak pulled back, then let go. Im sorry, but I have never seen a baby feed from a human hand. So this baby had surgery? Will you explain what surgery it had? I hope everything is going well with it. Keep us posted.
