When you are little and cute with fetching feathers, every day is a great day to be, well, you!
But when you wake up on the first day of a whole new year full of days, and it suddenly occurs to you that you have just been given 365 brand new days to be fetching and feathery, this is cause for some serious celebration!
To celebrate, Pearl and his mommy have each decided to set an intention for this most special 1st day of 365 new days.
Pearl’s intention is to “eat more waffles.”

Pearl’s mommy’s intention is to “have faith” (with a secondary intention of using her newfound faith to find new ways to supplement her feathery sidekick’s waffle-centric diet).

Pearl is so excited about this “intention setting” business (seeing as how the moment he set his intention, his Grandma appeared with a fresh piping hot waffle just for him!) that he wants to share it with YOU!
All you have to do is:
- First, set your own New Year’s intention.
- Next, share it with us in the comments section below. 🙂
One lucky intention-setter will win* this beautiful “Out of Cage” Bird Crystal Pendant (your choice of color) just for setting an intention and sharing it here!

Happiest New Year from our flock to yours!
With love (& lots of feathers),
Shannon & Pearl
My resolution is to make a difference (animal welfare) and for my cockateils and greyhounds to be healthy and happy 😊
Beautiful!! I am inspired, Julie!! ❤️

One of my new year’s intentions is to build a bigger and better aviary for my cockatiels to live in.
Happy New Year’s! 🙂
Awwww-happy feathers for the new year! 💕
My intention is to continue to take in as many birds in need of homes as my physical space and $$ will allow.
Gorgeous, Nancy….I am grateful you are in this world! ❤️
My resolution is to do a random act of kindness every day to make some one smile & also be the best pet mama I can to my birdies & kitties.
Beautiful, Kathy!! Love it! 💕
My intention is to begin every blessed morning reading all about Pearl 💛
The best intention (you and Pearl’s mommy have so much in common!) 😍
I have been learning non-dualistic thinking. So I want to practice getting away from judging – good/bad, like/dislike, who’s acceptable vs. not acceptable etc. We humans judge everything and everyone. I want to live more inclusively. Also, being present to my feathered family and their needs!
This is fabulous, Carolyn! You and I seem to share this quest in common….nice to know I have company!:)
To be good to myself; to keep the apartment clean and orderly; to be the best Mommie I can be to my birds.
Awwww-love this Paulette!!
My intention is to figure out my Gerd nightmare and address my sleep apnea. ..
Because both are Killin me…
Oh wow! Yes-sound like two intentions worth making and keeping!!
My resolution is to refuse to eat meat from animals that haven’t been compassionately farmed.
A very beautiful intention!!
