When you have feathers and a finely-tuned palate, local chefs and waitstaff may soon begin to offer you free samples of new dishes. Reason being, if you like it, they can feel confident their dinner guests will too. And if you don’t like it, well…… Author: Shannon Cutts Co-Author: Pearl Cutts p.s. For more than 70 full length feature stories aboutContinueContinue reading “Day 48: Free Samples”

When you are cute and fluffy with soft feathers, you know there is one (and only one) thing you share in common with the small featherless shelled being. You both like it WARM. W.A.R.M. You are both from tropical places and you both like tropical temperatures. But your large featherless assistant (who keeps grumbling aboutContinueContinue reading “Day 47: Temperature Control”

The wreath is much more than just a festive holiday accent. In Roman times, the kind of wreath you displayed was an indication of your status, rank, strength, achievements, and profession. If you really wanted people to notice these things, you might put your wreath right on top of your head (or better yet, have yourContinueContinue reading “Wet Bird Couture: The Wreath”

While featherless and feathered beings look quite different on the outside, upon closer inspection they do enjoy a surprising number of the same hobbies. For example, they both like to eat waffles. They both like to take naps. And they both like to sit in front of the large rectangular glowing thing for hours. But if you have feathers, in manyContinueContinue reading “Day 46: The Sopranos”

In many featherless flocks, there is a tradition to consume a festive beverage called “wassail.” In fact, sometimes whole flocks will band together and start loudly singing in the streets about how much they like it. They do this until the neighbors open their doors to give the singers free wassail. When you have feathers, it is easy toContinueContinue reading “Day 45: Here We Come a Waffling”

Sometimes when featherless beings wish to sell something, they host what is called an “open house.” The hope here is, by the end of the event, a buyer will fall in love with the casa and have to have it for their very own. In the same way, when you are hoping to turn a nest-for-oneContinueContinue reading “Day 44: The Open Nest (House)”

Any true foodie appreciates the aesthetics associated with “fine dining.” For instance, with fine dining, you don’t have to go out and forage for your meal. Rather, a large featherless being called a “waitress” brings the meal right to you. Also, fine dining usually includes a dish that is one of your particular favorites – itContinueContinue reading “Day 43: Fine Dining”

Most ads for cars, clothing, and even cans of that odd-tasting bubbly stuff (the stuff that makes the featherless beings act kind of funny sometimes) seem to feature featherless lady models. Clearly, there is a connection between the presence of the ladies and the sale of the products. Since – empirically speaking – feathery beings are always more alluringContinueContinue reading “Day 42: The Best Way to Sell Anything”

There is a reason featherless beings often choose to flock together with feathery beings. Not only does having a feathery being in the flock ramp up the whole flock’s “attractiveness rating,” but beings with feathers are also very affectionate, energetic, and efficient. In other words, no matter what you want to do, you will doContinueContinue reading “Day 41: Researching with Grandma and Grandpa”

Being the official “greeter” for a whole flock is a task only the friendliest of beings can handle. You have to be so outgoing and social you can walk right up to a total stranger and see a new friend-in-the-making. For this reason (and also due to overall cuteness and prettiness) beings with feathers are typically an excellentContinueContinue reading “Day 40: Hello China”
