In most flocks, many flock members must share a single large shiny rectangular device with crunchy keys. Inevitably in these situations, one flock member (often the one with the least feathers) will try to hog it. When this occurs, you need to respond both firmly and swiftly to reassert your flock “alpha” status and reclaimContinueContinue reading “Day 1: Staking Your Laptop Claim”

Every so often we like to change things up here at Casa Feathers n Beak n Shells. And by “we,” of course, we mean the “alpha” flock member with the feathers.

When you are (allegedly) .007, pint-sized super spy, your life is all about multi-tasking.

When you are petite and precious and covered with soft downy feathers, you can forget all about privacy and personal space.

One snap and a flash later and – oh, that’s right! IContinueContinue reading “Thursday Self Esteem with Pearl”

On certain occasions, it is customary to give thanks. For example, some beings like to pause and offer their thanks before consuming their dinner (although Pearl recommends doing this after you chow – you will be full then and so it will be much easier to remember what you are grateful for). Some holidays areContinueContinue reading “Tuesday Gratefuls: Pearl & Shannon Share”

“Black ops” agents can come up with some very devious disguises. This can be especially true when the agent is highly trained….and has feathers. It is all too easy for a feathered agent to throw up a smokescreen of “cuteness” and hoodwink all the non-feathered agents, who are far too busy “oohing” and “aahing” toContinueContinue reading “Thursday Thriller: Pearl Cutts in “Bird Bag””
