Some days, being perceived as small and fluffy and cute might suit you.
Delicacies and neck feather scratches and posh new wicker nests appear like magic.
The world is keenly aware of your presence and eagerly keen to get as close to you as possible.
But then there are the other days.
The days when any amount of closeness is too much closeness.
The days you wonder what the Big Bird in the sky was thinking when he was designing you to be so irresistibly cute….so cute even the shelled beings cannot help themselves but come closer.
These are the days when your cute fluffy exterior has gotta go.
It is time to break out your inner eagle.
