For those rare beings who have earned the reputation of a true gourmand,  there is rarely a shortage of new dishes to sample. Rather, the problem tends towards the reverse – there are far too many dishes are competing to be sampled by you. You don’t want to waste your talent on average fare, soContinueContinue reading “Day 243: Picking Out Prey”

In developing a new skill, everyone has to start somewhere. “Poaching” is no exception. One day you are a total beginner. But then the next day, you get a little better. In time, you may even carve out a place as one of poaching’s all-time greats!

When you are a particularly manly manbird, attracting ladybirds really boils down to location. Location, location, location….if the ladybirds can’t find you, they can’t compete for you! Here, it can be best to situate yourself in a place that sings to any ladybird’s heart….a NEST. Author: Shannon Cutts Co-Author: Pearl Cutts p.s. FREEBIE ALERT! Read the introduction &ContinueContinue reading “Day 241: Location, Location, Location”

Once per year, it is customary for each featherless being to have a ‘special day.’ On this day, other featherless beings may gather as well, which can make it more special. When it becomes really special, of course, is when a being with feathers arrives. This is because everything is better with feathers. Victuals tasteContinueContinue reading “Day 240: The Small Chef’s Special Day”

For the bravest explorers – those who choose to live amidst a mysterious and largely unexplored (featherless) species – the learning never stops. For instance, after the nightly flock-wide dinners are over, it has been observed that these beings often spend their evenings watching other featherless beings moving around on a very large rectangular flashing device. InsideContinueContinue reading “Day 239: The Egg & I”

It is always a good day to celebrate the Tall Trees of this world. After all, they are so very tall. They can provide the best view of approaching snacks. They have built-in beak-cleaning stations. They are so great at sharing their victuals. They love being sung to. Best of all, they love everything “feathers”ContinueContinue reading “Day 238: Happy Tall Tree Day!”

There is nothing like living in an interspecies flock to learn about different approaches to fitness and nutrition. For example, featherless beings often like to watch fitness activities (on a large comfy seating device) while tending to their nutrition (here, flavorful salty crunchy things are often the nutrition of choice). Beings with feathers, on theContinueContinue reading “Day 237: Nutritional Fitness”

Beings with feathers who study featherless culture quickly realize the importance of something called a “bag.” Central to nearly all activities in the lives of featherless beings, the bag sometimes gets as much attention – if not more – as the beings themselves! This is never more true than during travel (which they like to doContinueContinue reading “Day 236: Bag Check”

It is always good to be first. First in prettiness, first in feathery-ness, first in cuteness….and first in line. Even if you aren’t sure why you’re in line, you want to be first so you can decide if you want whatever-it-is and nab it. In the same way, when your large featherless assistant brings homeContinueContinue reading “Day 235: First in Line”

Some games are so fun and engaging they transcend language. And species. Take “bobbing,” for example. Here, the only aspect that tends to change frequently is what is being “bobbed” for (on account of the size and weight of the “bobber” relative to the “bobbed”). Young and not-so-young featherless beings, for instance (being rather robustContinueContinue reading “Day 234: Bobbing for Cheerios”
