For beings who routinely stalk and kill their prey in group settings, every new meal introduces some level of potential social risk. As an example, let’s say you’ve been invited to dine at a neighboring flock’s home. You arrive, view the spread, spy your chosen prey, and proceed to begin stalking. Here, you are hoping for a best-caseContinueContinue reading “Day 290: English Muffin Gone Rogue”

When you have feathers and you live amongst the featherless beings, you can hardly help but become a trailblazer of sorts for your kind. No matter how many years you spend studying the featherless way of life, you will likely continue to have more questions than answers. This (of course) is because they are just soContinueContinue reading “Day 289: What Shines is Mine”

Not every being is lucky enough to be born sleek, feathery, and (extremely) photogenic. So if you are one of those rare few who comes into this world with these advantages, you will quickly learn how much others long to emulate your style. Inevitably, some will do so quite poorly. Others, however, will do aContinueContinue reading “Day 288: The Pretend Parrot”

In the old Wild West, there was such a being as a “gun slinger.” A “gun slinger” earned the title by, well, slinging a gun better than everyone else (you could tell who was best at this by the body count). In the same way, in the new modern (south)west, there is such a beingContinueContinue reading “Day 287: Tie Slinger”

Being born with feathers all over your body gives you automatic priority placement in any household’s “pecking order.” It also doesn’t hurt that you possess a very sharp curved beak….typically sharper than anyone else’s in your flock. Plus, you have naturally long, fierce talons – great for gripping and claiming prized items. Best of all, your keen eyesightContinueContinue reading “Day 286: Bubble Wrap”

Recently Love & Feathers was proud to announce that our own (very pretty) feathery star had been selected to receive the prestigious “Golden Waffle” award for best acting. He followed this up with a second incredible performance – a pensive and dramatic one-avian show entitled “Sunrise, Sunset.” Never one to allow himself to be pigeonholedContinueContinue reading “Day 285: Egg on a Ledge”

Amongst the featherless beings, there is a competition called “Ultimate Fighter.” In this contest, two particularly large and strong featherless beings give each other everything they’ve got, with the goal to win a stack of crunchy (if somewhat flavorless) green paper. Of course, when you have feathers, you have to assume they are still playingContinueContinue reading “Day 284: Ultimate Predator”

When you have feathers and are tropical by nature, you know warm weather is the best kind. That’s when all your favorite delicacies show up. For instance, when the weather gets especially warm, sometimes your large featherless assistant brings home a very large, round, green and red dish. It is juicy and delicious and flingable -ContinueContinue reading “Day 283: Watermelon for One”

The “Terminator” is a fearsome foe. If it wants you, it will get you. There is nowhere you can go – no place to run and hide. Imagine you are an innocent, unsuspecting waffle. You have no idea there is a “Wafflenator” sent back from the future. You don’t know about its specific mission – to terminateContinueContinue reading “Day 282: The Wafflenator”

In the most competitive nesting seasons, even having two separate luxury casas, a large featherless assistant, a personal chef, and international fame and adulation (on account of prettiness, of course) may not cut it. In these seasons, you can make a clear case for breaking out the big guns – something only the champions ofContinueContinue reading “Day 281: The Man Cave (Nest)”
