Being covered in soft downy feathers practically guarantees you will be dodging the paparazzi for life.

For example, let’s say you live in the south. The sub-tropicalContinueContinue reading “Cuteness for Comfort with Pearl: Making Snow While the Sun Shines”

Pearl, Malti & Bruce Now Have a Patreon!

Being an ambassador animal for your whole species takes a lot of hard work. Well, mostly it takes a lot of “cuteness,” but still.

Janie Jeness Post: How an Alpha Gets Born

When you are a young feathered being raised in an interspecies flock, you may at first struggle to grasp and claim your rightful place in the flock pecking order.

Plus they act like they know better than you do about when and howContinueContinue reading “Janie Jeness Post: How an Alpha Gets Born”

Happy Day O’ Eating from Our Flock to Yours!

Cuteness for Comfort with Pearl: a Perfect Parrot

It doesn’t take much time at all living in an interspecies flock before you realize that the tuneless squawking that your large featherless assistant calls “words” can cause a lot of confusion.
