As nesting season draws to a close each fall, only the strongest, worthiest candidates are still standing. Not to mention the most photogenic. Sometimes what will tip the balance in favor of a candidate simply boils down to good looks. After all, choosy ladybirds may find fault with many other things, but none can resist the alluringContinueContinue reading “Day 335: The Nest Model”

Recently, a new featherless being came home to join us here at Casa Feathers N’ Beak. This new being was warmly welcomed by one existing member of our household (hint: it was the one who doesn’t have any feathers). The household member who has the feathers is still, um, adjusting. That adjustment process goes more smoothly on someContinueContinue reading “Day 334: The Perils of “Shared” Service”

For particularly fetching and feathery individuals, parties can pose a unique challenge. Which is (of course) that everyone wants to talk to the prettiest guest. Sometimes, for instance, you might be having a great conversation with another (very pretty) guest, and all of a sudden a third wheel will try to horn in. This can be awkward….toContinueContinue reading “Day 333: The Third Wheel”

There are advantages & disadvantages to hiring a large featherless assistant who can’t cook. The advantages include “take-out.” Unfortunately, so do the disadvantages. Author: Shannon Cutts Co-Author: Pearl Cutts

Considered the consummate “Renaissance man” and the greatest artist of his generation, Michelangelo thought nothing of working upside down for four years to paint the Sistine Chapel.

Love & Feathers is proudContinueContinue reading “Day 330: A Chew to a Kill”

This has been a big year for Pearl. His “Wet Bird Couture” fashion line is a bit hit. He launched an exciting new career singing “lead.” He even garnered a “Golden Waffle” award for his acting skills. Now it is time to pull it all together – which he does (seemingly effortlessly) with this, Wet BirdContinueContinue reading “Wet Bird Couture: The Ferocious Philippine Eagle”

When you are a talented artist (with feathers), you know imitators are always keen to nab your original designs and claim them for their very own. For this reason, when you are working on an innovative new art project, you want to keep it hidden from prying eyes until you are absolutely sure you areContinueContinue reading “Day 329: Artistry Under Wraps”

One of the (many) wonderful aspects of being an avian is having aerodynamic, attractive wings. With wings, you can escape predators, assert dominance over peers, and intimidate your large featherless assistant. Sharp claws are also quite wonderful to possess. With claws, you can secure a firm perch, claim items you desire, and intimidate your largeContinueContinue reading “Day 328: The “Special Needs” Spokesbird”

When you have feathers but take your meals amongst beings without feathers, you never can predict what a day’s dining will bring. For instance, for some meals they may serve what they call a “preset menu.” This is where everyone eats the same thing at the same time.
