When you are a small and fierce predator, there is no reason you have to limit your predatory instincts to single-prey stalking. For example, if you happen across an entire herd of tasty prey, you might as well bring them all down at once.

Only a very slim percentage of beings will ever come into this world bearing that “perfect storm” of fame-producing attributes. Look at Frank Sinatra, for instance. He was born with good looks, singing and acting talent, plus a naturally suave and debonair demeanor that made the ladies swoon. Sinatra didn’t have to go looking for fameContinueContinue reading “Wet Bird Couture: The Sinatra”

Over time, you have observed that each of the featherless beings in your flock comes equipped with a small rectangular flashing device. On account of how you are the only one who doesn’t have a device – and none of them have any feathers – you can only assume the device is meant to help them overcome thisContinueContinue reading “Day 73: Helping Grandpa”

Since your Grandma is a chef extraordinaire in a flock of non-chefs, sometimes she likes to try out new recipes on you first. You are happy to oblige – on account of how your palate is clearly more sensitive than the palates of your flockmates.

Sometimes (in addition to fans from other flocks), fans from your own flock will give you gifts. This is totally understandable – no one can be around such cuteness all day, every day, without eventually succumbing to the desire to buy you gifts. Of course, you always accept graciously – and with much cute posingContinueContinue reading “Day 71: More Gifts for Pearl”

One of the (many) best things about being little and feathery and very very fetching is that you don’t have to wait for special occasions to get gifts. This, of course, is because every day is a special occasion when you are, well, you. And fans send gifts “just because,” which (naturally) you open asContinueContinue reading “Day 70: Gifts for Pearl”

Many times famous actors will create dramatic pieces where they play more than one role. For instance, they might play themselves….and then their twin. Or they might choose to play themselves and then also play their co-conspirator (who just happens to look exactly like them). For this, Love & Feathers’ latest one-avian play, noted actorContinueContinue reading “Day 69: The Great Wheat Grass Conspiracy”

Not so long ago, a blonde featherless being named Meghan Trainor got very popular singing a song called “It’s All About That Bass.” The moral of that story is, when you work what you’ve got (even if it’s not feathers) other beings will naturally gravitate to you. For instance, say you have a very fetchingContinueContinue reading “Day 68: It’s All About that Face”

When you are a humanitarian (with feathers), you realize not all beings are lucky enough to start each day with feathers – let alone that all-important first day of a brand new year! This is where your natural vast empathy really shines through. If other beings can’t make their own feathers, the least you canContinueContinue reading “Day 67: Happy (Feathery) New Year!”

Living in a mixed-species flock goes more smoothly when you have the willingness to “act like a local” when needed (even if you happen to think local behaviors are quite, well, unusual). So let’s say it is New Year’s Eve – the last day of a year full of days. For some reason, you noticeContinueContinue reading “Day 66: Breakfast Bowl Acrobat”
