Live amongst the large featherless beings for long enough, and you eventually realize they come in all shapes and sizes. But if you happen to be the only avian in your flock, you may not instantly realize the same principle applies to your own kind as well. Here, what works best is to look forContinueContinue reading “Day 318: Tweety Greetings”

In the old West, if a new arrival wanted something – say, a piece of land, a stretch of river to mine for gold, a goat – they would first have to do something called “staking their claim.” Even those new to the art of “staking” could prioritize desirable items based on how interested others seemedContinueContinue reading “Day 317: Claim Staking”

On “Labor” day, featherless beings everywhere set aside the entire day to practice their skills at “ingestion,” “celebration,” and “relaxation.” Luckily, these are three skills beings with feathers already excel at (on account of how they practice all three on a daily rather than an annual basis). Here is a brief public service video to help allContinueContinue reading “Day 316: How to Really Enjoy “Labor” Day”

Part of maintaining a successful modeling career is something called a “portfolio.” There are a variety of advantages to creating a portfolio. One, you have an ongoing visual record of how cute and pretty you are. Two, you can share it with fans so they won’t pester you all the time for photo ops. Three,ContinueContinue reading “Day 315: Beautiful Bird Portfolio”

Different cultures have many different traditions for “clearing the palate” between courses. Some enjoy sipping water and then spitting it back out (in a word: yuck). Others like to ingest and chew a small stick of something, after which they often spontaneously emit flimsy round structures from their mouths. Still others gravitate towards the chewingContinueContinue reading “Day 314: The Big Leaf”

Sometimes when you accept an offer of leadership from one group of small crunchy beings, other similar groups then come out of the, well, cardboard to ask you. But you can’t accept every invitation you get. It is up to each group of beings to convince you to say “yes.” Author: Shannon Cutts Co-Author: PearlContinueContinue reading “Day 313: Cornflake Convention”

When you are very cute and feathery, everyone wants to be around you. This also makes you an extremely desirable leadership choice for groups of beings who need lots of, well, leadership. Author: Shannon Cutts Co-Author: Pearl Cutts   p.s. Pearl is very excited about his new online SHOP!  He invites all of his VIP fans (yes, that means YOU)ContinueContinue reading “Day 312: The Crunchy Contest”

When you are the Head of Security for your casa, sometimes you get presented with a particularly complex security issue. For example, let’s say a band of seeds has decided to stow away inside a hunk of delicious fresh-baked bread. Like a particularly crunchy Trojan Horse, they figured they’d be able to sneak into theContinueContinue reading “Day 311: De-Seeding”

Sometimes even after intensive A-game training, you may determine your props are simply too (er) green to make the cut. When this occurs, you have two options. Option 1 – continue the training, hoping for a miraculous turnaround. Option 2 – improvise with what you’ve got. Author: Shannon Cutts Co-Author: Pearl Cutts   p.s. Pearl is veryContinueContinue reading “Day 310: A-Game Training, Part 2”

As a high (um) flying super(bird)model, your fans expect you to bring your A-game to every photo shoot. This is no problem if it is a “solo” shoot, of course. But sometimes you are scheduled to work with props. So you also have to arrive at every shoot prepared to do some emergency “A-game training”….just inContinueContinue reading “Day 309: A-Game Training, Part 1”
