When you are small with feathers and have a Grandma who is an excellent chef, you just never know what might turn up at mealtimes. Where the challenge can arise is when your large featherless assistant is dining on a delicacy she also wants….and she forgets that Grandma really makes all these delicious things forContinueContinue reading “Day 209: Apple Bread”

Rumor has it that “Mother’s Day” is a holiday for kids to celebrate their moms. But here at Casa Feathers N Beak, we know the truth. Factually speaking, a celebration without feathers is no celebration at all. Plus, the one who gets all the attention is obviously the honoree – as these photos prove. Author: Shannon Cutts Co-Author: Pearl CuttsContinueContinue reading “Day 208: The Truth About Mother’s Day”

When you share a household with several other beings, maintaining household dominance can quickly become a full time job. While you happen to know that having feathers automatically places you at the tip-top of the pecking order, some other beings show less natural aptitude for grasping their own proper place below you. The best wayContinueContinue reading “Day 207: Household Dominance”

As prey, the “Cheerio” is not for beginning hunters. This is because Cheerios are experts at hiding. They can fit in the narrowest nooks and crannies. They also become even more flexible when damp (such as with warm almond milk). And right in the middle of each Cheerio is a big hole – which makesContinueContinue reading “Day 206: Hunting Cheerios”

From time to time, some of Pearl’s fans suggest that this blog be renamed “Love & Waffles.” I can’t imagine why. 😉 The truth is, when you love a dish, you never tire of it. Making it, admiring it, ingesting it, sharing it (well perhaps not so much that last part if you have feathers)….all areContinueContinue reading “Day 205: Love & Waffles”

As the official large featherless assistant, all I can say is – I wouldn’t want to be a Cheerio in our household. With some dishes, you might have a prayer of getting away. But not if you are a Cheerio. (Here you may be thinking, “But what about waffles? Waffles seems to have just asContinueContinue reading “Day 204: Adios to Cheerios”

According to “National Geographic,” the pufferfish is a very poor swimmer. However, it can ingest huge amounts of water or air and turn into a big spiky ball, a feat of which no other fish (no matter how well they can swim) can boast. Fashionably speaking, it can be challenging to pull off this lookContinueContinue reading “Wet Bird Couture: The Pufferfish”

When you are an experienced diner, it is easy to discern the difference between “economy” and “gourmet” dining service. Here is an example. Let’s say, for instance, that the diner is already comfortably ensconced on a soft seat (perch) and doesn’t feel like moving over to the table to take his meal. In “economy” dining, soContinueContinue reading “Day 203: Dining Lessons”

Whether you have feathers or you do not have feathers, each day comes packed chock full of choices. For instance, you might have a choice whether to admire yourself in a reflective surface…..or you could attempt a daredevil climb up a tall tree. (Here, some of you might be thinking, “why choose – do both?”ContinueContinue reading “Day 202: Choices, Choices”

Every being has a favorite color. Some beings (such as your large featherless assistant, who frankly doesn’t have much fashion sense) like boring colors such as “blue.” But for those beings with more refined senses (such as the ones with feathers, who can not only see “normal” colors but are also able to see in ultraviolet) “green” isContinueContinue reading “Day 201: Green is for Nesting”
