The little one is so CUTE! I'm sure it will turn into a beautiful pigeon with your help Pidgey. It's in good hands. -Hilly

Well, he was about 117 this morning and I got one (1) more peep today. Didn't get anything yesterday, so felt kinda' sad, but today's made up for it (and the day ain't over yet... ). Walter's a funny little thing--will stare up at you and seems extremely aware but so quiet. Loves to sit in your hand.

Thanks Pidgey
 Walter sure sounds adorable! Pretty good weight gain too for only a few days. I bet you do get another peep before the end of the day too.

No skritchers?
Dang. Walter's standing at least. He's still pretty slow on the weight gain but plenty of food's going through him. It never rains, but it pours though: I got two more on Friday late from the vet--a pair of orphans who are quite a bit bigger than Walter. I decided that they were big enough to easily wean even though they're smaller than you'd normally do that. One's bigger (Bawlin') and one's smaller (Squawlin'). I kept working with them and a small cup of seeds (they were still full of seeds when I picked them up at the vet) over the course of the next 24 hours and finally got them to trying it. Squawlin's hilarious--when she got it, she just stuck her whole beak in the cup and literally GOBBLED beaksful of the stuff. You'd see her occasionally come up for air with milo falling out of all sides. Now I know how they end up so full so quickly when their parents are feeding them. Bawlin's bigger and does it seed by seed in the normal way--more dignified. That is, right up until Squawlin' gets in and hogs the little cup doggone near emptying it in the process--then Bawlin' throws away the manners and gets with it, too. They're hilarious. In the past, I'd have Kayteed them out for another two weeks before even trying to wean them but I just got through doing the same thing with Einstein and he did absolutely great. Pidgey

How absolutely hysterical, Pidgey!
I sure hear you about the glutton! While Marlin Darlin' was like that with the Kaytee, he's calmed down, somewhat, while eating seeds!! Glad to hear they are doing so well, including Walter!! Love, Hugs and Scritches to ALL (you just earned 'em back!) Shi and the gang

Pidgey, you may take the prize with coming up with the best names ever - who would have thunk - Squwlin and Bawlin......

Well, actually I've had to rename them. I've never seen pigeons eat like this... before. It's frightening! You don't want to get your fingers in the way. I was watching them for awhile as they ate and decided that they more deserved names like "Greedicus" and "Gluttonia".
For about 17 seconds... ...when I realized that the pair of them had reduced a two-tablespoon bowl full of seeds down to nothing and I had to refill it. Their names are now: "Famine & Pestilence" They will NOT be "released"... They will be "unleashed" upon the earth. And, frankly... ...I'm not sure we're gonna' make it. Pidgey

Almost forgot... it's not all bad news: Walter is finally peeping plenty (although it's more of a very high-pitched chirping sound--nowhere near normal for a squeaker) and beginning to pump his shoulders when you handle him. For a long time, he had a fairly dark-blood color about his where they're normally much lighter and his respiration rate was unusually high. There's probably no way that he's not going to be a runt, but we'll take it if that's the best we can do.
