Finally, he really knows how to make direct eye contact with the camera.ContinueContinue reading “Wet Bird Couture: The Batman”

In featherless culture, being “quick on the draw” basically means you can grab your weapon faster than the other guy can grab his. Of course, such awkward and artificial self defense measures are only necessary because featherless beings lack certain natural advantages (namely a beak, wings, and claws). But when you have feathers, there is noContinueContinue reading “Day 296: Quick to the Shred”

With a now clearly established link between having feathers and possessing natural acting talent, Pearl unfurls his acting wings even further with this, his third one-avian play, entitled “Phantom of the Molt.” Of course, in the original version, the setting was an opera house and the cast was full of featherless beings.

Cuteness, prettiness, fluffiness, feathery-ness…. Any one of these traits on its own (not to mention all of them together) can nearly guarantee you a steady supply of gifts, toys, and treats from doting friends, fans, and family….and especially from your grandparents. Whenever a new gift arrives, the best way to incorporate it into your stashContinueContinue reading “Day 291: The Bird Kabob”

For beings who routinely stalk and kill their prey in group settings, every new meal introduces some level of potential social risk. As an example, let’s say you’ve been invited to dine at a neighboring flock’s home. You arrive, view the spread, spy your chosen prey, and proceed to begin stalking.

When you have feathers and you live amongst the featherless beings, you can hardly help but become a trailblazer of sorts for your kind. No matter how many years you spend studying the featherless way of life, you will likely continue to have more questions than answers. This (of course) is because they are just soContinueContinue reading “Day 289: What Shines is Mine”

Not every being is lucky enough to be born sleek, feathery, and (extremely) photogenic. So if you are one of those rare few who comes into this world with these advantages, you will quickly learn how much others long to emulate your style. Inevitably, some will do so quite poorly.
