Gratitude comes easily to beings who live in the moment. By staying present and focused in each minute of each day, even the tiniest miracles will be easy to notice and appreciate. A drop of fresh dew glistening at the end of a pine needle. A yellow butterfly flitting from flower to flower. The aromaContinueContinue reading “Tuesday Gratefuls: Pearl & Shannon Share”

Monday Happys: Restful Naps
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. And since Monday is the most stressful day of the week for many featherless beings (on account of something called “work”), Pearl figures it is also the perfect dayContinueContinue reading “Monday Happys: Restful Naps”
Bruce Explains Box Turtles: Hunting
Having two shells from two different reptile species in our little family flock really brings up some interesting contrasts. Take dinnertime, for instance. Malti clearly prefers her dinner to stay still while she chows, and sometimes even sits down on top of it just to make sure. Bruce, on the other hand, has no problemContinueContinue reading “Bruce Explains Box Turtles: Hunting”
Malti Explains Redfoot Tortoises: Interior Design
As mama and official “enrichment coordinator” to two small shells, I take habitat decor quite seriously indeed. This past winter, both Malti’s and Bruce’s habitats were completely wiped out. Between the rain and the snow (sleet really, but still) and the freezes, each habitat was a total mud ball by the time some warmer daysContinueContinue reading “Malti Explains Redfoot Tortoises: Interior Design”
Thursday Thriller: Pearl Cutts in “Who Is Gluten?”
Some top secret agents are so top secret that no one is sure if they are real or just the stuff of legend. Let’s say, for example, that you are .007, pint-sized super spy. Other spies want to meet you to learn all your secrets. Bad guys want to meet you to get bragging rightsContinueContinue reading “Thursday Thriller: Pearl Cutts in “Who Is Gluten?””
Video Wednesdays: “Singing to the Chef”
It is a big responsibility to be feathery and famous and have flocks of fans (both feathered and featherless). You have so much to do – preening, showering, chowing, nesting, napping….. Occasionally you also star in videos. For this installment of “Video Wednesdays” Love & Feathers is proud to present Pearl Cutts in “Singing to the Chef.” Enjoy!ContinueContinue reading “Video Wednesdays: “Singing to the Chef””
Tuesday Gratefuls: Pearl & Shannon Share
Thankfulness is an expert “black ops” secret agent. It is so stealthy, it can sneak right up on you and stand right next to you and you still won’t know it is there! For this reason, it takes lots of super-secret agent training to recognize gratitude in its many disguises. Luckily, the best trainers canContinueContinue reading “Tuesday Gratefuls: Pearl & Shannon Share”

Bruce Explains Box Turtles: Waking UP!
Guess who is awake!!!!!! Yup, after another long winter’s sleep, the box turtle member of the flock has finally decided to put in an appearance! Two flock members were fairly un-moved….but the large featherless flock member was over the moon to see her boy again! This is the second year Bruce has been with us,ContinueContinue reading “Bruce Explains Box Turtles: Waking UP!”
Malti Explains Redfoot Tortoises: Going IN
I’ve shared in previous posts here how Malti has a thing for fences. If she sees a fence, she wants to go OUT. From the time she was a tiny tort (something she definitely isn’t anymore!), she has had a “zero tolerance” policy for confinement. Even if the fence is totally open-ended – like moreContinueContinue reading “Malti Explains Redfoot Tortoises: Going IN”
