First (and this is both cute AND annoying) we had a smoke detector battery go bad in the very early AM right before vaca. It did that chirp... chirp... chirp... thing every ten minutes until my sleepy husband found and disabled it. Well, right before we left, in the morning, guess what sound Pippin can PERFECTLY mimic now? I do NOT encourage this by laughing at it, but it is SO cute, especially 'cause he does it when he's tentative... so, usually looking up, kinda crouched, and "chirp!" So cute!
Secondly, he's doing his first big molt and his new, white belly feathers are coming in. But, they're coming in what I think is an interesting pattern. They are coming in in a "V" shape about halfway down his waistcoat first. Odd, but CUTE! Here he is as a baby, maybe 1 month ago, not sure:
Here he was a week ago, the night before vaca:
See the brand new white feathers coming in? He's also been growing newer, more vibrant feathers all around his neck and jowels, as you can see from the two pics. It's even more pronounced now that they're fully out a week later. Look below:
Last, since returning from vaca at my friend, Deb's house, he's also learned a new sound: he perfectly mimics a squeaky toy. In-out squeek, in-out sqeek! SO cute!
