Hi sweet extended flock members, You have probably noticed we’ve been strangely absent from your inbox and social feeds lately. Our very own Tall Tree is not well. So our little flock has circled the wagons and we are doing our best to be present for him and for each other as events unfold. PrayersContinueContinue reading “From Our Flock: Breathing Room”

Flock Life with Shannon: Learning Their Language
Hello dear Patreon Patron, Welcome to this special weekly blog feature designed just for YOU. Behind the scenes, being an interspecies flock mama comes with some unusual challenges. For starters, there is the language barrier. It can be challenging to know what your flock mates want and need when you don’t share a common dialect.ContinueContinue reading “Flock Life with Shannon: Learning Their Language”
Box Turtle Whisperer
I have been called a lot of things…. …..but “box turtle whisperer” is hands-down my favorite. Since I was eight I have been sharing my life with parrots and turtles. First it was a parakeet named Perky and a red-eared slider named Red (super-creative, right?). But hey, I was 9 at the time and heContinueContinue reading “Box Turtle Whisperer”
Happy Nearly New Year to You from Pearl, Malti, Bruce & all of us!
Boy oh boy oh boy! It is nearly here. Like in just a handful of minutes, seconds and hours. 2021. The year we’ve all been waiting nearly all of 2020 to get to. It is right there. We can almost see it. Hear it. Smell it. Taste it (at least if you are Malti). WhatContinueContinue reading “Happy Nearly New Year to You from Pearl, Malti, Bruce & all of us!”

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. When you’ve got it, you’ve got to share it, and that means bringing your “A” game (or your “B” game if you happen to be Bruce) to each and every photoContinueContinue reading “Pearl, Malti & Bruce Now Have a Patreon!”
Happy Birthday Pearl & His Mama!
Yup. You guessed it (from the clever title to this blog post, no doubt). Someone small and feathery and very cute and his slavishly devoted mama just turned one year older. Ahem…..younger. Of course, in true flock tradition, today is a day for festivities. For feasting. For quality time with the whole flock, which includesContinueContinue reading “Happy Birthday Pearl & His Mama!”
Interspecies Flock Life with Shannon: With Parrot
When you are a flock mama, you know there are two methods to accomplish any task on the daily to-do list. The first way is “without parrot.” This way is expedient. Efficient. Quiet. And absolutely no fun. Guess what the second way is? Not surprisingly, “with parrot” is much cuter. It comes with free spontaneousContinueContinue reading “Interspecies Flock Life with Shannon: With Parrot”
Interspecies Flock Life with Shannon: Family We Choose
In the world of the large shell-less beings, there is a saying. “Family is the flock you choose.” Or something like that. But what many beings don’t realize is that your family flock members don’t all have to be from your same species. In fact, you can populate your family o’ choice with any speciesContinueContinue reading “Interspecies Flock Life with Shannon: Family We Choose”
Interspecies Flock Life with Shannon: the Good of the Whole
Being a flock mama means getting used to seeking the good of the whole. Here, it doesn’t actually matter what species your VIP clients happen to be. Your own species, a different species, all sorts of species – the common denominator is that their needs, preferences and wants always comes first. Let’s say one ofContinueContinue reading “Interspecies Flock Life with Shannon: the Good of the Whole”
