One of the (many) odd habits of the large shell-less beings is their tendency to stop everything just to have a snack. They might be walking along and all of a sudden their tummy grumbles. So they drop what they are doing – just like that – often heading off in a completely different directionContinueContinue reading “Day 350: A Very Green Redfoot”

Day 349: Cockatiel With a Cocktail
The large featherless beings invest a lot of energy in entertaining. There are rituals and routines, decorations and delicacies.

Day 348: The Box Is Closed
There are basically two kinds of beings in this world: those who wear their box on the outside and those who wear their box on the inside. Clearly, it is far more advantageous to be in the former group. This is obvious for many reasons, chief among which is how few beings belong in thisContinueContinue reading “Day 348: The Box Is Closed”
Day 347: Cold Blooded Clover Chomper
Being low to the ground and leisurely about dining gives you plenty of time to observe. For example, there are lots of beings who enjoy lunching on greens. Although some are quite odd.

Day 346: Dining Etiquette With Feathers
Rewind a handful of years (decades, centuries) and interspecies dining was quite common. It has only been recently the large featherless beings have taken to trying to squirrel away all the victuals for themselves. They are not very good at it. Lacking the keen eyesight, hearing and, well, basically all the other senses of theirContinueContinue reading “Day 346: Dining Etiquette With Feathers”
Day 345: Box Turtle Nap Time
One of the biggest things to get used to after being rescued is the nonstop attention.

ButContinueContinue reading “Day 345: Box Turtle Nap Time”

Day 343: Cockatiel Chomps the Biscuit
The mightiest of palates can sometimes be found in the tiniest of places. After all, when you only have so much holding capacity in your cute little gullet, you don’t want to waste it on sub-par delicacies. Only the tastiest and most flavorful fare will do.

Day 342: Box Turtle Brunch
Being rescued can take some getting used to. After being so long on your own, never sure what a day may bring, just you against the world, suddenly you are part of a flock. They do things quite differently than anything you have ever experienced before. For instance, whereas before the only way you everContinueContinue reading “Day 342: Box Turtle Brunch”
Day 341: A Deep Forest Tortoise
Setting up a household that includes flock members from different species can very naturally bring up some differences of opinion. Say one flock member is small and feathery. He prefers everything to be very open and spacious with no (zero, zilch) obstructions in line-of-sight. But then say another flock member is round with a shellContinueContinue reading “Day 341: A Deep Forest Tortoise”
