The desert or “greater” roadrunner is a (er) wily avian for certain. Rarely photographed without a delicious prey in-beak, the roadrunner can run faster than any large featherless being (up to 20 mph!) and bring down poisonous rattlesnakes and tarantulas. Roadrunners don’t beep (despite what Disney may have been told) and actually coo like a doveContinueContinue reading “Wet Bird Couture Presents: The Roadrunner”

“When you love somebody,” Sting sings, “….set them free.” As if. When you REALLY love somebody, you feed them the tender fresh-baked scone you were planning to consume yourself. Like so. With love (& lots of feathers), Shannon & Pearl

All young beings have to learn about foraging safety. Some have parents or flock mates who teach them, while others must go it alone. The general rule remains the same, however – the tastier the delicacy, the more dangerous it tends to be to bring it down (on account of other hungry poachers as wellContinueContinue reading “Left, Right, Waffle”

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.

While it can be great to dig into a starring role in a big budget Hollywood thriller, the best actors often like to challenge themselves to bring their acting A-game under sparser circumstances. In fact, a truly gifted actor can create a whole theatrical piece with little more than themselves and a stage prop or two. OnContinueContinue reading “It’s in the Bag”

Not only are mashed potatoes tasty, but they are also great for getting fit.

You can dig in and start enjoying them immediately, while at the same time piling your beak high to practice your signatureContinueContinue reading “Mashed Potatoes for Fun and Fitness”

The hoopoe is a very intriguing avian. Best known for its crown of rusty black-spotted feathers (which many believe indicates its royal origin) the hoopoe flies like a butterfly, croaks when disturbed and wheezes during courtship. Males compete for ladybirds by trying to stab their rivals with their long sharp beaks; mama birds secrete yucky liquidContinueContinue reading “Wet Bird Couture Presents: The Hoopoe”

Sting sings, “….set them free.” As if. When you REALLY love somebody, you let them have first dibs on your (their) dinner of delicious piping hot grilled cheezers. Like so. With love (& lots of feathers), Shannon & Pearl

If there is one being who needs guarding (more than a certain famous and feathery someone, that is), it is the docile, naive and slow-moving “waffle.” This being is so innocent it would probably try to give you a hug even while you are (um) buttering it up! And in fact, waffles don’t mind beingContinueContinue reading “Waffle Guarding for Beginners”
