Thanks to hit series like “Twilight” and “Trueblood,” everyone knows that vampires are quite stealthy and quick. They sneak up on their prey, neatly dispatch them, and then vanish again before anyone is the wiser. As it turns out, vampires are not the only beings who possess this unique skill. Any being with feathers isContinueContinue reading “Day 223: Love at First Bite”

Even when you have the poshest nest possible, you know that attracting a ladybird will take more than just a display of your undeniable full-feathered prettiness. This is because ladybirds like to play “hard to get.” However, putting on a dazzling display of your courage, agility, and daring will make the ladybirds forget all aboutContinueContinue reading “Day 222: Daring Descent”

Whether you are a member of a small or large flock, establishing whose portion is whose (commonly referred to as “portion control”) is an important part of maintaining your flock-wide “alpha” status. Here, it is not important what size you are in comparison with the size of your fellow flock members. Rather, it is all about confidence.ContinueContinue reading “Day 221: Portion Control”

When you have feathers and the whole flock is gathered together, a fun group game you can play is called “I Spy Waffles.” This game is very easy to play, and game rules dictate that no matter which player spies the waffles first, the littlest player gets first dibs.

Occasionally your large featherless assistant might take it into her (clearly empty) head to add to your little family. When this occurs, an adjustment period is sure to follow. Although the adjustment period often becomes slightly easier once you confirm the new family member is much less pretty than you are. If the new family memberContinueContinue reading “Day 219: Terrapin!”

The “reflection” may be one of life’s best inventions. This is especially true for those beings (mostly the ones with feathers) who happen to possess particularly pretty reflections. For these beings, every reflection is a chance to gain new insights about the origin, nature, and purpose of prettiness. Author: Shannon Cutts Co-Author: Pearl Cutts

When you are petite with fetching grey feathers, the crush of fans can sometimes be overwhelming. This is when having a “Mommyguard” can really come in handy. Your Mommyguard is highly trained to interpret your sometimes cryptic communications – for instance, which shriek means “I want a waffle!” and which shriek means “My neck feathers itch!” AnContinueContinue reading “Day 217: Mommyguard”

One of the great things about having feathers (versus no feathers) is an automatic ability to sense how your time should best be spent. For instance, let’s say you are out foraging for your lunch, when all of a sudden you spy….prettiness. Everyone knows that prettiness makes all beings happier. Ergo, the more prettiness there is inContinueContinue reading “Day 216: Saint Prettiness”

When you have feathers, sometimes the large featherless beings think they can hide the preparation of delicacies from you. Luckily you have something (well many things) they don’t. One of those things just happens to be a healthy helping of “ESDP” (Extra Sensory Delicacy Perception). For instance, there is the presence of the plates, theContinueContinue reading “Day 215: Extra Sensory Delicacy Perception”

Being born small and grey with fluffy soft feathers means you’ve never known what it is like not to be cute. In fact, being cute comes so naturally you often don’t even realize how useful it really is! For instance, when the large featherless being is dining and you happen to spy one of yourContinueContinue reading “Day 214: A Very Cute Diner”
