With claws, you can secure a firm perch, claim items you desire, and intimidate your largeContinueContinue reading “Day 328: The “Special Needs” Spokesbird”

When you have feathers but take your meals amongst beings without feathers, you never can predict what a day’s dining will bring.

All over certain parts of the world, there are landbound structures called “lighthouses.” These structures emit periodic bright beams of light that contain messages. Typically, these messages are meant to alert other, still-floating structures (which, oddly, come equipped with a set of wings even though they never seem to use them) about hidden dangers like rocks or roughContinueContinue reading “Day 322: A Beacon of Cuteness”

When you are feathery and famous, there are no days of rest. Technically. Unless, of course, resting is part of your official celebrity job description. And you are very good at it.
