Finding love is often all about preparing for it. If love arrives and you are busy doing something else, you may miss it. So you always want to prepare ahead of time. One great thing a manly manbird can do to prepare is to scope out romantic spots in advance. This way, if you suddenlyContinueContinue reading “Day 288: Mood Lighting”

Day 287: Hard Boiled

If ever there was an elixir guaranteed to bestow “manliness” on even the wimpiest of male beings, it could only come in one form. Hard boiled. Hard boiled is the manly manbird’s secret weapon. Hard boiled is the color of purity, power and performance (not to mention approximately half the feathers that cover your fetchingContinueContinue reading “Day 287: Hard Boiled”

Day 286: Friends of (Feathery) Friends

One of the best things about being very popular and feathery is how everyone always wants to be around you. Then they want to introduce all their feathery friends to you. Then the friends of your feathery friends want to be around you too. And sometimes, some of those friends just happen to be fetching andContinueContinue reading “Day 286: Friends of (Feathery) Friends”

Day 285: Operation Preen

After you’ve just out-alpha’d a bigger (if not bolder) feathered being, it can be good to reinforce your alpha flock status publicly. If you can do this with as much fanfare as possible (here, think fans, paparazzi, minions, assistants, total strangers) even better. For alpha flock leaders who already happen to be famous and feathery,ContinueContinue reading “Day 285: Operation Preen”

Wet Bird Couture: The Alligator Snapper

The “alligator snapper” is the largest, fiercest, spikiest, most prehistoric turtle of all.

Day 284: The Alpha Preener

Cohabitate in a flock setting for long enough, and it will surely happen. One day, another bold (and bigger) feathered being is bound to show up.

When this happens, there’sContinueContinue reading “Day 284: The Alpha Preener”

Day 283: When You Want a Waffle

It is one thing to want a waffle. In fact, lots of beings want waffles, every day and all the time. But it is another thing entirely to keep the waffle after you have it. You can’t defend waffle prey with the usual defense tactics, either. The only way to keep the waffle you’ve gotContinueContinue reading “Day 283: When You Want a Waffle”

Day 282: Trainable Moment

While the large featherless beings are generally docile and sweet, from time to time even they can get, well, uppity. In these periods, they might start to refer to your casa as “their” casa, your possessions as “their” possessions and even you as “theirs!” This presents a great “trainable moment” (camouflaged as a modeling shoot,ContinueContinue reading “Day 282: Trainable Moment”

Day 281: Blue for Two

It is a misnomer that “blue” is strictly a manly color. In fact, a lady in blue can be nearly irresistible. However, many ladies who sport blue plumage do tend to play it cool…at first. Here, it is up to the suitor to “woo to suit” the lady’s tastes. Author: Shannon Cutts Co-Author: Pearl Cutts  ContinueContinue reading “Day 281: Blue for Two”

Day 280: The Tile Admirer

When you are small and very pretty and cute, you just never know when or where your admirers may find you. For example, you could be enjoying your breakfast as usual on the kitchen counter, thinking you and your large featherless assistant are the only ones there, when – PRESTO! An admirer appears.
