Being the “alpha” flock member is a big job.
Everybody thinks they want that job until they get it.
Then they find out why you need so many restful naps (“beta” flock members are hard work!).
Of course, an experienced “alpha” knows how to make the job easier.
For starters, you want to stick together with other alphas.
It is easy to spot another alpha when you know what to look for.
A being that does a lot of sitting and resting, while the rest of their flock scurries back and forth bringing them delicacies and showering them with praise, this is quite likely to be that flock’s alpha.
Then you can just head over and introduce yourself and immediately commence to roosting together like the professionals that you are.
