Most featherless beings do a lot of what they call “entertaining” during the holiday season. This mostly seems to involve putting a lot of delicious dishes out on the table at once and then competing with one another for who gets how much of what. Clearly, being small and quick can be quite the advantage here!ContinueContinue reading “Day 65: Let the Table Games Begin”

One of the best things about holiday meals is something your featherless flock mates call “leftovers.” For instance, let’s say the Small Chef makes an item you discover you especially enjoy. She will then pack the rest of those items for you to take home. The key to success here – especially with new itemsContinueContinue reading “Day 64: For the Love of a Roll”

As previously discussed in detail, when you are a famous and feathery supermodel, often you will be called in for specialty photo shoots featuring “props.” If there are many clients vying for your services on the same day, the type of props may well determine which contract you accept. Let’s say on one particular day,ContinueContinue reading “Day 63: The Biscuit Model”

Every famous celebrity (with or without feathers) has some “signature” accessories their fans associate with them…and only them. For Michael Jackson, it was his white glove. For James Bond, it is his tuxedo and dangerous firearm. For Pearl Cutts, among many other style accessories, it is his wicker basket. This is because every truly manly manbirdContinueContinue reading “Day 62: Celebrity (Basket) Style”

As happens in many “mixed species” flocks, Christmas Day is a big deal in your flock. There are lots of (waffle-flavored) treats to enjoy. There are so many trapped items wrapped in crispy paper to rescue. There is a lot of singing (which you excel at). And of course there is the “flock dinner,” whichContinueContinue reading “Day 60: A Very Feathery Christmas!”

One of the (many) awesome things about having feathers is – feathers can serve as a standalone accessory that always works. Styles may change, trends may come and go, but feathers are truly timeless. For instance, one day you may want to wear all your feathers smooth and flat. The next day, you may mix itContinueContinue reading “Day 59: Feathered Accessories”

Being a field observer (with feathers) allows you to witness and document all kinds of strange interspecies behaviors. For instance, amongst the featherless beings, they typically tend to increase personal grooming efforts around certain times of year. Sometimes this can spill over to you. For instance, even though you already preen your feathers and groomContinueContinue reading “Day 58: Field Observations”

Different species may have different cultural “cuteness” ideals – this is only natural. Luckily, having feathers trumps them all. This means you can join any flock – of any species – and always be the cutest. Being the cutest is important for many reasons, including that you get the most presents (yours and, well, all the others)ContinueContinue reading “Day 57: Presents for Pearl”

All the best secret agents (like, for instance, 007) are skilled in “covert ops.” Some agents get so good they can conduct a covert op right in front of others and still remain totally undetected. Let’s say you are a top secret agent (with feathers). One day – yet again – your large featherless assistantContinueContinue reading “Day 56: Covert Ops”
