Flock mealtimes can sometimes be challenging when different species cohabitate together. One flock member likes one kind of lunch, and another flock member prefers a totally different kind of lunch. And the one – and ONLY one – thing they all agree on is that all other flock members except them have terrible taste in lunch.ContinueContinue reading “Day 214: The Watercress Marauder”

When you have feathers and regularly dine with a featherless flock, it won’t take you long to notice how boring their mealtimes are. Where is the color, the movement, the interaction, the liveliness?!? They all just sit there on their respective perches, dining off their respective flat dishes. YAWN. But because they are creatures of habit (toContinueContinue reading “Day 213: Hash Browns Hopping”

Give any random featherless being a choice between a bowl of raw veggies and a thick slab of toast dripping in butter, and it won’t take a trained researcher to predict what they will choose. In the same way, if you give any random feathered being a choice between a dish of dry bird food andContinueContinue reading “Day 212: Bird with a Biscuit”

Being a recognizable public figure (with feathers) can sometimes mean having to battle and correct misconceptions.

Recently, a new naturalist has begun a comprehensive campaign to hunt, catalogue,ContinueContinue reading “Day 208: Cheerios Hunter”

In many cities, diners who are celebrating special occasions enjoy dining at fine restaurants located in high places. This affords them a great view as well as tasty cuisine prepared by master chefs. In the same way, when you have feathers and are in the mood to celebrate a special occasion (like “prettiness,” “cuteness,” orContinueContinue reading “Day 207: Cage Top Dining”

As .007, super spy (with feathers), there are some missions only you can handle. For example, let’s say breaking intel has just come in that a small band of rebel seeds is hiding out inside a nearby slice of bread. Clearly, only a true expert in “seed-ology” (like, oh, say…you) has the skill to positively I.D. and nabContinueContinue reading “Day 206: Seeds in Hiding”

Being famous and feathery can produce a lot of demands on your time. Sometimes you have to meet all day long just to fit in everyone who wants to see you.
