When you care for an interspecies family, going shopping is always eventful. As the official rent and grocery money-earner (as well as the official shopper – everyone voted and you were, well, “it”), the whole flock gets excited when you return home with bags full of intriguing things. Some flock members are excited because ofContinueContinue reading “Day 148: Cockatiel Goes Nest Shopping”

Day 145: Birds for Brunch
One of the (many) best things about being born with soft feathers all over your body is that everyone wants to be your BFF. There is the cuteness, of course. And the featheriness. And the natural tunefulness. And the incredible flexibility and agility. There is your show-stopping personality and bonafide star appeal. Most of all,ContinueContinue reading “Day 145: Birds for Brunch”
Day 142: How Much Is That Birdie in the Window?
How much is that birdie in the window, you might be wondering? In a word: priceless. Or as one wonderful pet blogger I love stated (this about her own beloved tortoise): He’s yours for three easy payments of $10 million each.
Day 139: Happy Birthday to Pearl’s Grandma!
Beings with feathers are so special. Not only are they very pretty and oh-so-cute, but they bring constant joy and love into your life. But what is really special is feathered beings and their Grandmas.

Day 136: Self Esteem with Feathers
One reason feathered beings seem to have consistently better self-esteem than the large featherless beings is because they have, well, feathers. You can’t argue with biology. But there are other reasons as well that can be easier to adjust for….a judicious tweak here and there and you can be feeling better about yourself in noContinueContinue reading “Day 136: Self Esteem with Feathers”
Day 133: Cockatiel Creates Wall Art With Heart
The best artists aren’t always the ones with the most complicated designs. There is something to be said for keeping what shows up on the canvas simple and straight from the heart. Not only will this type of art be most accessible to the fans (and the ladybirds, should any happen by during or afterContinueContinue reading “Day 133: Cockatiel Creates Wall Art With Heart”
Day 132: Hip Hip Hurray for the Tall Tree!
Sometimes at first glance, you might look at two beings and think they don’t have so much in common. Perhaps one is very tall with absolutely no feathers while the other is very small and is covered in soft feathers. Maybe one likes to sing in a deep baritone voice and the other prefers toContinueContinue reading “Day 132: Hip Hip Hurray for the Tall Tree!”
Day 130: Cockatiel Knows It’s In the Bowl
Despite the high prevalence of large featherless waitresses in the food service industry today, they can be remarkably tough to train. For starters, getting distracted by “cuteness” is a known hazard of the species. Also, featherless beings tend to get overly hampered by their own outmoded customs when it comes to fine dining. For instance,ContinueContinue reading “Day 130: Cockatiel Knows It’s In the Bowl”
Day 127: Cockatiel Discovers Unattended Apple
The large featherless beings may be, well, large, but they tend to be rather slow on the uptake. For example, let’s say your large featherless waitress begins snacking on a desirable item. But then she gets distracted (as usual) and leaves her snack totally unattended. The smell then wafts over in the direction of theContinueContinue reading “Day 127: Cockatiel Discovers Unattended Apple”
Day 124: Cockatiel Is Damp & Dapper
The super-competitive annual nesting season isn’t for amateurs. Ladybirds have very high standards, and they expect their suitors to bring their A-game on every level, from nest selection to victuals choices to personal style. For this reason, you want to make a fashion-forward first impression, which as every worthy candidate knows always begins with aContinueContinue reading “Day 124: Cockatiel Is Damp & Dapper”
