Naps are very restorative. And if you live your life outside the public eye, you can nap whenever you want to. But if you are fetching and feathery – so much so that the paparazzi likes to follow you everywhere – getting in a good restful nap can feel more challenging. In this situation (while itContinueContinue reading “Naps with Paparazzi”

It isn’t every day that someone fetching and feathery releases his memoir. In a flock made up of featherless beings, there might be the tendency to stop mentioning it after a time, on account of modesty and decorum. But when you have feathers, you know modesty at this juncture is for the (um) birds. This isContinueContinue reading “The Bird & His Book”

When you are little and cute with fetching feathers, every day is a great day to be, well, you! But when you wake up on the first day of a whole new year full of days, and it suddenly occurs to you that you have just been given 365 brand new days to be fetching andContinueContinue reading “A Whole New Year of Feathers (& win a crystal pendant!)”

There is no doubt the large featherless beings have some odd traditions, especially right around a festive occasion they call the “New Year.” For example, some of them like to acquire special items to attract more of something they call “luck.” The way you see it, luck must be something you only need if you don’t have any feathers. YourContinueContinue reading “The Good Luck Ladybug”

“When you love somebody,” Sting sings, “….set them free.” As if. When you REALLY love somebody, you let them sit on your knee while you watch TV together (and you don’t even put the “bird towel” on your knee first!) Like so. With love (& lots of feathers), Shannon & Pearl

Featherless beings tend to have unusually short attention spans. For example, your large featherless waitress sometimes goes into the kitchen to fix something for breakfast. When she comes back, she may get so absorbed in consuming what she made she forgets you are even there! So of course this is always a good time toContinueContinue reading “The Breakfast Fling”

Big or small, short or tall, young or old, rich or poor, feathered or featherless, there is so much happiness to be found in this world. And since Monday is the most stressful day of the week for many featherless beings (on account of something called “work”), Pearl figures it is also the perfect dayContinueContinue reading “Pearl’s “Happiness Is….” (win a FREE BOOK!)”

You don’t get to be a certified “power nester” by good looks alone (if that was the case, a certain very manly manbird would have been born surrounded by ladybirds!). Rather, like anything worth doing, nesting takes practice. You get better in stages, first by learning the basics and then by adding your own singular style to setContinueContinue reading “Power Nesting for Advanced Learners”

Since many featherless beings do not realize their avians’ gourmet sensibilities, they can be a tough species to train. For instance, let’s say your large featherless waitress serves you some of Grandma’s tasty mashed potatoes on a small garnish of green leaf. Yawn. So you have to train by example, taking the initiative to showContinueContinue reading “Mashed Potatoes En Bag”

The large featherless being here…. “Love & Feathers,” the blog, first launched in 2012. On that very first day, we could never have guessed how much joy it would bring to our little flock to share our adventures with you, our extended family flock. So today, on a day when we are sipping hot (spiked)ContinueContinue reading “The Happiest & Merriest from Our Flock to Yours!”
