Cuteness for Comfort with Pearl: Extra Fluffy
When you have 21 and a half years of life in an interspecies flock under your feathers, you have learned there are days when “fluffy” will do.

Cuteness for Comfort with Pearl: Cockatiel Napping
Masks. Gloves. Microscopic germs. Grumpy large featherless paparazzi issuing dire-sounding predictions about shortages of something deeply uninteresting called “hand sanitizer” (now if it was called “wing and talon sanitizer,” that might be something actually newsworthy).
