The male Amazonian royal flycatcher (or just “royal flycatcher” for short), is a real ladybird’s manly manbird. It doesn’t have to buy her flowers, feed her delicacies, or even spend time constructing a posh nest in the hope that she will pick him to make eggs with. Nope. He just waits until a pretty ladybird wings byContinueContinue reading “Friday Wet Bird Couture: “The Royal Flycatcher””

Being famous with feathers means you always have to keep your (highly trained, black ops, .007) eagle eye out for interlopers. You just never know when a paparazzi or eager “super fan” may try to disguise themselves and sneak into your casa. But even if they manage to make it past your perimeter security (supervisedContinueContinue reading “Thursday Thriller: Presenting Pearl Cutts in “White Crest Investigations””

It is a big responsibility to be feathery and famous and have flocks of fans (both feathered and featherless). You have so much to do – preening, showering, chowing, nesting, napping….. Occasionally you also star in videos. For this installment of “Video Wednesday,” Love & Feathers is proud to present Pearl Cutts in “My Coffee Cup.” Enjoy! 🙂ContinueContinue reading “Video Wednesday: “My Coffee Cup””

Every day offers another chance to feel grateful. Thank goodness! Gratitude is like going on a micro-vacation on the spot. To make it even better, no one knows but us that we are gone – not our boss, not our partner, not even the IRS. Feelings of thankfulness are like hearing a knock at the doorContinueContinue reading “Tuesday Gratefuls: Pearl & Shannon Share”

There are so many great reasons to include a feathered being in your life. For instance, feathered beings are very cute and pretty. They are also so feathery (which is like finding little love notes all over the house, especially during molting season). Best of all, feathered beings think every day is the best day ever….especially whenContinueContinue reading “Monday Happys: Waffle Testing”

The guitarfish is not really a fish. It’s not really a ray either. Nor is it a shark. It is more like a fish-ray-shark, and one that has serious black ops skills at that. The guitarfish can pump water over its own gills, allowing it to stalk prey without moving a muscle. The prey willContinueContinue reading “Friday Wet Bird Couture: “The Guitarfish””

Everyone knows that feathered beings have much better taste than featherless beings. So when a featherless being (such as your personal large featherless assistant, for instance) is permitted to go out shopping unsupervised, you just never know what they might bring back. Sometimes it is something good, like millet or shiny items. And sometimes itContinueContinue reading “Thursday Thriller: Presenting Pearl Cutts in “The Great Carrier Escape””

Every day offers another chance to feel grateful, if we just have the openness to take it. Gratitude can ease a whole multitude of frustrations, like you just took 365 deep breaths all at the same time. And feelings of thankfulness are always welcome visitors (unlike certain others, most notably those angry feather-free beings in theContinueContinue reading “Tuesday Gratefuls: Pearl & Shannon Share”

Monday is the day that starts a whole new week. Every week, like clockwork, Monday arrives again. It is always on time (whether we want it to be or not). It is something we can always count on. Sort of like the feeling of happiness you get whenever you spy a cute feathered being. DoContinueContinue reading “Monday Happys: Cuteness Equals Happiness”
