Sometimes in your official role as celebrity spokes(bird)model, you are called upon to greet guests from very exotic places.

Say, for example, your large featureless press secretary has received a request for you to meet with a new guest from exotic New Zealand.

Well hello there! My name is Pearl - my Mom tells me your name is "Kiwi." — Well hello there! My name is Pearl – my Mom tells me your name is “Kiwi.”

May I welcome you with a courtly bow!

You know, my people hail from just one country over from yours - Australia. — You know, my people hail from just one country over from yours – Australia.

But I have to say I like it here - I get a large featherless assistant all to myself. — But I have to say I like it here – I get a large featherless assistant all to myself.

So what brings you stateside? Where is your large featherless assistant to carry your things? — You don’t have a large featherless assistant? No worries – I’m sure we can find you one while you’re here – the supply is quite plentiful.

And - while we're on the subject - might I ask where you've hidden your wings? — You know, I can’t help but notice you seem to have a unique way of folding your wings and tail – I can’t seem to spot either of them no matter how hard I look.

You don't have a tail....wow, you really don't! That's okay - I just lost a few tail feathers myself - why don't you use those until yours grows back? — You don’t have a tail? Ah. I understand – I just lost a few tail feathers myself. I would be happy to offer you those to use those until your tail grows back.

I have to say - you have the most beautiful pink feet! Pink feet are the best color to have. — You know, I just have to say it – you have the most beautiful pink feet! Pink feet are the best color to have.

And your beak is so - prominent. And it seems perfectly sized for snatching waffles at long distances. — And your beak is so – prominent. It seems perfectly sized for snatching waffles at long distances.

An official photo for the press archives? Why, I would be honored! — An official photo for the press archives? I would be honored!
