When you are petite, feathery and very cute, it goes without saying that you will need an assistant to keep the admiring hordes at bay.
But if you choose a large featherless being for your assistant, you may find yourself having to do a surprising amount of assisting yourself.
Take “making tea,” for instance.
While your large featherless assistant fixates (inexplicably) on the strange-smelling dried stuff inside the tea packets, you know where the real gold is – in those crispy packets and the crunchy paper the tea is packaged in.
Uh oh. Looks like Mom is planning to make tea “her way” again.She’ll definitely need my help – I’ll just use “cuteness” to get her attention.Okay, Mom, like I showed you – first, grip the cardboard firmly with your beak.If the dry cardboard is too tough to shred, you can add water to soften it up.Start here at the ends – they are thinner and crispier.Okay, Mom – now you try it!

Pearl is just too cute for words. He’s a very good helper.
He really is, Jeanne-I learn so much from him! 🙂
