Most ads for cars, clothing, and even cans of that odd-tasting bubbly stuff (the stuff that makes the featherless beings act kind of funny sometimes) seem to feature featherless lady models. Clearly, there is a connection between the presence of the ladies and the sale of the products. Since – empirically speaking – feathery beings are always more alluringContinueContinue reading “Day 42: The Best Way to Sell Anything”

There is a reason featherless beings often choose to flock together with feathery beings. Not only does having a feathery being in the flock ramp up the whole flock’s “attractiveness rating,” but beings with feathers are also very affectionate, energetic, and efficient. In other words, no matter what you want to do, you will doContinueContinue reading “Day 41: Researching with Grandma and Grandpa”

Being the official “greeter” for a whole flock is a task only the friendliest of beings can handle. You have to be so outgoing and social you can walk right up to a total stranger and see a new friend-in-the-making. For this reason (and also due to overall cuteness and prettiness) beings with feathers are typically an excellentContinueContinue reading “Day 40: Hello China”

In the 1980’s and 1990’s, there was a very popular sitcom called “Who’s the Boss?” In this show, there were all kinds of struggles over who is in charge of whom and what. It is worth mentioning there are no such struggles here at Casa Feathers ‘n Beak. We all know who is in charge.ContinueContinue reading “Day 45: Who’s the Boss?”

Family brunch with the flock is always a festive, full-service occasion. You have your own personal Small Chef (aka your Grandma) to prepare the delicacies (which are waffle-flavored and crisped to perfection). You have your large featherless personal waitress to take care of serving and clean-up. You have your preferred perch on the “Tall Tree” (akaContinueContinue reading “Day 39: Waffling with Grandpa”

Everything is just better when you include feathers. Take tea time, for instance. The boring featherless beings think the best way to enjoy tea time is to drink the stuff inside the box. This – of course – is only because they have never tried the crisp and delicious thick paper of the box itself. TheyContinueContinue reading “Day 38: The Right Way to Enjoy Tea Time”

Green things are reliably delicious. Of course, typically, the more delicious the prey is, the harder it is to bring it down. This means only the wiliest of hunters get to enjoy the tastiest dishes. Luckily, there are certain strategies to help ensure victory in the hunt. The few predators who thoroughly master these time-honoredContinueContinue reading “Day 37: Gladiator of the Greens”

When the flock member in charge of your meals is “cooking-challenged,”  you just never know what she may bring home. One day it may be sacks of homemade emergency rations straight from Grandma’s kitchen (for which, thankfully, no preparation is required). Another day it might be cartons of those round white things you like (which seemContinueContinue reading “Day 36: Helping Mom in the Kitchen”

In past months, Love & Feathers has been honored to win exclusive rights to a series of acting “shorts” – one-act plays featuring a feathery-star-in-the-making. Rarely does an actor debut to such instant acclaim and awards! One recent review read, “our feathery hero proves he deserves to be counted among the all-time acting greats.” Here, in his latestContinueContinue reading “Day 35: The Case of the Missing Hard-Boiled Egg”

Every day brings surprises. Some surprises are more, um, surprising than others. And some surprises (frankly) are more fun than other surprises. Certain surprises, however, always remain on the “preferred” list. An example of a “preferred” surprise might be: When you get to share each day with the sweetest being on earth (who just happens to have aContinueContinue reading “Day 34: Sweetness….with a side of feathers”
