Big or small, short or tall, young or old, rich or poor, feathered or featherless, there is so much happiness to be found in this world.
And since Monday is the most stressful day of the week for many featherless beings (on account of something called “work”), Pearl figures it is also the perfect day for his weekly tutorial on finding happiness!
Here is this week’s (very feathery) entry:

Now you try it!

Happiness is…having a large featherless being for a mommy who loves you to the moon and back, along with a large featherless being grandpa & grandma!
Yes yes and yes! ๐
Happiness is sitting and relaxing in the evening while hearing my birds contentedly grinding their beaks. Happy birds, happy mom.
Beak grinding is the BEST! ๐
Happiness is an adorable cockatiel climbing on your finger asking for cuddles! <3
Awww – the sweetest of all happiness!! <3
Happiness is being owned by a cuddly cockatiel and being told off if you dare to ignore them and of course the cute beaky kisses โค๏ธ
Oh yes! And the correction is often loud enough for the neighbors to also hear! <3
Happiness is hanging out on my couch, all cozy and warm, and listening to the chattering of my Zebs, Societies and Silver Bills. Each species has their own language, and I love learning to translate various Finchie dialects.
LOVE this!! ๐
Happiness is seeing a bird who has never played with a toy before interact for the first time after seeing your example. Happiness is the quacking sound my conure makes when I whisper “good morning”, and the feeling that I get when he melts his little body into my chest. Happiness is watching the fear of my newest rescue disappear and hearing all his calls for the first time. Who can’t be happy when seeing a once-abused bird say “chugga chugga choo-choo”?
No one I want to know – that is AMAZING!! What an awesome life you have! ๐
