Hi – the large featherless being here. Here at Casa Feathers n Beak, every day is a great day when it includes feathers. Short of growing feathers myself (which is looking less likely by the day) I have found the best way to make sure each day contains as many feathers as possible is to stay as close IContinueContinue reading “Day 196: Mommies, Grandmommies & Their Birdies”

Many celebrities become as famous for their preferences as for their talents. For example, J.Lo. likes her surroundings to be white – ALL white. Kanye West prefers his carpets ironed.

When you are very hungry, it can be tempting indeed to just dig in. Yet true gourmands are hungry for more than just a full belly.

Regardless of whether you plan to nest outdoors or indoors, when a nesting site is compromised (or even suspected of being compromised) you need to have a backup plan. This is called “covert nesting.” With covert nesting, you take your flock and retreat to a second, super-secret and secure nesting site, which comes complete with round-the-clockContinueContinue reading “Day 191: Covert Nesting”

There is a great deal more to selling choosy ladybirds on the right nest mate than just fine-looking feathers. For instance, experienced suitors understand they will also be expected to provide round-the-clock, comprehensive security for the nesting site and its occupants.
