Good morning, everyone!

                         In the last week, I got a ton of pin feathers. They itch a lot! They look like they will lose their shell and become normal feathers soon, though.

Look closely, and you'll see I have a large pin feather
below my blue cheek spot. I have a ton more on the
top of my head, though!

             
                     

                       I find Junior taking on much of my behavior. He is learning how to talk in the way I do. I heard him whistle a few minutes ago, just like I do. He always talks to a small mirror, kind of like how I talk to my bell. And, he is getting better at flying, but he still needs to learn he must get out of the cage before he can fly around the room. He just flies back and forth between the cage walls, and rarely makes his way out of the cage. He talks to me more, too. We have conversations on everything.
