When you are little and famous and feathery, hiring a (large, featherless) Mommyguard is always a wise move. Of course, there are times you will need to send your Mommyguard (who doubles as your personal assistant) into the other rooms to get your snacks, lunches, dinners, and treats. During these times, you will want to step in as the official BirdieguardContinueContinue reading “Day 20: Birdieguard”

Working from home is not for everybody. Those who love it know how to surround themselves with the best assistants so they always have the right kind of support. For freelance writers in particular, a special type of support is needed to ensure quality is consistent for every article, blog post, and book copy delivered. OnlyContinueContinue reading “Day 19: Writing Assistant”

Many young beings (both feathery and featherless) enjoy playing a game called “I Spy.” In this game, they might call out descriptions (but not names) of different things they spy. Clues might include “it starts with the letter ‘E’,” or “it is round and white,” or “it is quite tasty.” The more detailed the cluesContinueContinue reading “Day 18: I Spy”

Just because a snack is free and looks crunchy and delicious doesn’t mean it should be trusted. For this very reason, all over the world, “snack security” specialists are hard at work keeping diners safe from rogue snacks.

Being the famous feathery face of Wet Bird Couture is hard work. You need to know which fellow VIP’s to flock with (to get more publicity for your line). You need to pick the right featherless assistant to handle your affairs. And, of course, you need to know how to “work the camera.” For many,ContinueContinue reading “Day 16: Working the Camera”

For the most feathery and famous beings, they can expect their days to be filled with a steady stream of visitors. Of course, visitors bearing gifts are received first. And gifts that are especially tasty, shiny, or feathery will move the visitor closer to the front of the receiving line. Author: Shannon Cutts Co-Author: PearlContinueContinue reading “Day 15: Visitors Bearing Gifts”

Foraging species (with or without feathers) quickly become adept at spotting delicacies. For example, perhaps one day you are casually scouting the terrain for snacks, when all of a sudden you spy…….mashed potatoes! There is an unattended bowl FULL of them sitting right in front of you! Here, it is a great idea to jump rightContinueContinue reading “Day 14: The Mashed Potato Hawk”

A few months ago, our little flock of two expanded. The third flock member is neither featherless nor feathered. Reactions to the new addition have been mixed. The flock member with no feathers is overjoyed. The flock member with feathers is……not. So recently, as part of a flock-wide socialization project, we began “turtle sensitivity training.” Author: Shannon CuttsContinueContinue reading “Day 13: Turtle Sensitivity Training”

Inspectors only get to be inspectors by having a specialty. For example, say you are very good at determining “shininess.” You can automatically tell (on account of how well it reflects very pretty grey and white feathers) how an item ranks on the “shininess scale.” This rare ability makes you simultaneously feared (by shiny things)ContinueContinue reading “Day 12: Inspector Shiny”

One of the perks of sharing a flock with only one other being (without feathers) is that all meals are shared between just two flock mates. This means there is always enough for both flock mates….unless, of course, the flock mate with the feathers really, really likes what is served, or is really, really hungryContinueContinue reading “Day 11: Sharing Cornbread”
