Being a small, feathery, “alpha” flock leader comes with many responsibilities. For instance, you have to teach the other flock members how to fix your breakfast properly. You have to pose for endless photo ops even when you’d rather nap or shred things. And you have to keep a watchful eye on what’s yours or risk itContinueContinue reading “Day 77: Mi Heater, Su Heater”

Many of the greatest artists have selected one preferred medium. Some prefer paint on canvas. Others sculpt with marble or shape with clay. Still others – but only the edgiest of modern innovators – opt for the “waffle.” This most difficult of creative mediums requires a skill level few possess. Firm and crispy on the outside,ContinueContinue reading “Day 76: Waffle Art”

Sometimes the Small Chef makes one of your (many) favorite dishes – cheesy potatoes. Since you are small and very quick, and the dish is quite large, you can nip right in and snag the choicest portion for yourself. Over time, this strategy has earned you the nickname “Cheesy Beak.” Author: Shannon Cutts Co-Author: PearlContinueContinue reading “Day 75: Cheesy Beak”

When you are a small and fierce predator, there is no reason you have to limit your predatory instincts to single-prey stalking. For example, if you happen across an entire herd of tasty prey, you might as well bring them all down at once.

Only a very slim percentage of beings will ever come into this world bearing that “perfect storm” of fame-producing attributes. Look at Frank Sinatra, for instance. He was born with good looks, singing and acting talent, plus a naturally suave and debonair demeanor that made the ladies swoon. Sinatra didn’t have to go looking for fameContinueContinue reading “Wet Bird Couture: The Sinatra”

Over time, you have observed that each of the featherless beings in your flock comes equipped with a small rectangular flashing device. On account of how you are the only one who doesn’t have a device – and none of them have any feathers – you can only assume the device is meant to help them overcome thisContinueContinue reading “Day 73: Helping Grandpa”

Since your Grandma is a chef extraordinaire in a flock of non-chefs, sometimes she likes to try out new recipes on you first. You are happy to oblige – on account of how your palate is clearly more sensitive than the palates of your flockmates.

Sometimes (in addition to fans from other flocks), fans from your own flock will give you gifts. This is totally understandable – no one can be around such cuteness all day, every day, without eventually succumbing to the desire to buy you gifts. Of course, you always accept graciously – and with much cute posingContinueContinue reading “Day 71: More Gifts for Pearl”

One of the (many) best things about being little and feathery and very very fetching is that you don’t have to wait for special occasions to get gifts. This, of course, is because every day is a special occasion when you are, well, you. And fans send gifts “just because,” which (naturally) you open asContinueContinue reading “Day 70: Gifts for Pearl”

Many times famous actors will create dramatic pieces where they play more than one role. For instance, they might play themselves….and then their twin. Or they might choose to play themselves and then also play their co-conspirator (who just happens to look exactly like them). For this, Love & Feathers’ latest one-avian play, noted actorContinueContinue reading “Day 69: The Great Wheat Grass Conspiracy”
