Day 322: If You Like It Put a Feather On It

Day 319: A Cockatiel’s Feather Coat
The large featherless beings are sometimes understandably jealous that they pop out, well, featherless. There really isn’t any more delicate way to say it. But just because you got all the good DNA doesn’t mean you don’t still need help staying warm when temperatures drop. And of course, with “cuteness” at your service, you canContinueContinue reading “Day 319: A Cockatiel’s Feather Coat”
Day 318: Happy Happy Double Flock Birthday!
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 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”
