As recently as this last century, featherless hunters roamed the plains in search of tasty victuals. They carried spears…..and later, shotguns.

Without keen eyesight, powerful wings, or sharp talons of their own, the best they could do was to carryContinueContinue reading “Day 325: The Great Millet Hunt”

Some beings – typically species without feathers, fins, fur, or shells – enjoy activities that involve “watching.” For instance, there are outings featuring “whale watching,” “dolphin watching,” “moose watching,” and (always a favorite) “bird watching.” Of course, when you have feathers, you already know you are the most interesting species of being to watch. But this doesn’t mean thereContinueContinue reading “Day 320: Waffle Watching”

In the world of featherless beings, those who aspire to become architects have to jump through all kinds of restrictive educational hoops before they can get to work. No wonder so many of their structures are staid and un-inspiring! Luckily, when you have both feathers and architectural aspirations, professional entrance requirements are less rigid…so as to encourage maximumContinueContinue reading “Day 318: Improvisational Remodeling”

When you have feathers and are naturally gifted at everything you do, sometimes you might get bored with your everyday routine. For instance, perhaps you have reached that time in the day when you always perform your “maximum prettiness” preening session.
