Life itself is precious….there is no doubt about it. But what makes life extra precious is the chance to live with an interspecies flock. Your family is all colors, all genders, all shapes and sizes.

Day 316: A Parrot and His Props
Not too many fans understand just how grueling it can be to rake in consistent five-feather reviews in the competitive field of “acting.” In nearly all cases, all the fans know is that they love the star, they love the plot, they love the play and they love the props. But managing props in particularContinueContinue reading “Day 316: A Parrot and His Props”
Day 313: Pearl Cutts in The Big Bird Box
Being born covered in soft fetching feathers can definitely give you a wing up on the competition when it comes to winning coveted feature roles. But it can’t always protect you from filmmakers’ omissions and inaccuracies. For example, there may be times when you are starring in a new play and you notice the titleContinueContinue reading “Day 313: Pearl Cutts in The Big Bird Box”
Day 310: Cockatiel Attends Crestaholics Meeting
As a manly (single, solo, suave) manbird, there is no doubt having a full-feathered crest can make you a hit with the ladybirds. But it can also make you a frequent target of the (large, featherless, crest-less) paparazzi. It comes with the territory. What the ladybirds want, the ladybirds get. And yet, dealing with allContinueContinue reading “Day 310: Cockatiel Attends Crestaholics Meeting”
Day 307: The Parrot and the Pupperazzi
While it is true that the large featherless beings are slavishly devoted to feathers, they aren’t the only species to feel this way. Turns out beings with fur can be pretty fond of feathers too! Sometimes this is because of how tunefully (loudly) parrots can sing. Sometimes it is due to “cuteness.” But most oftenContinueContinue reading “Day 307: The Parrot and the Pupperazzi”
Day 304: Cockatiel Is Heading In
Even the brightest light in the chandelier (or the loudest songster in the choir) can still find ways to improve. The best only stay the best because they are constantly bettering their skills. Say you are a “black ops” super-secret agent. Your legend precedes you. The merest whisper of your name, “.007,” sends ferocious foesContinueContinue reading “Day 304: Cockatiel Is Heading In”
Day 301: Cockatiel Gives Cuteness Assistance
When you’ve had fluffy feathers your whole life, it is easy to forget not every being is so lucky.

Day 297: Gratitude with Feathers and Shells
Here in our little flock, every member has their own reasons to be grateful. Pearl is grateful for his fine and fetching grey and white feathers. (One glance at his flock mates and it is easy to see how lucky he got in this department.) He is also very grateful for his tuneful voice. HisContinueContinue reading “Day 297: Gratitude with Feathers and Shells”
Day 295: Grateful for Feathers
As the day o’ gratitude draws near, it is only natural to find your mind turning to the things you feel thankful for. Let’s say you are small and covered in feathers.
