Every parrot knows it is important to have grandbirdparents. First of all, if you think your large featherless assistant is a pushover for feathers, wait until you meet her flock elders! These beings, known as “grandparents” when parenting other featherless beings, also make the best grandbirdparents. Grandbirdparents love to pamper and spoil their grandbirds. TheyContinueContinue reading “Pearl Explains Parrots: Grandbirdparents”

Monday Happys: Good Company
Featherless beings, generally speaking, don’t look forward to Mondays. Feathered beings, on the other hand, are perfectly happy when another Monday rolls around. For this (and many other) reasons, featherless beings often choose to add beings with feathers to their close family flock. This is a very wise choice, of course. Once you add aContinueContinue reading “Monday Happys: Good Company”
Bruce Explains Box Turtles: Digging
Too lightweight and streamlined to be a tortoise, yet too land-bound to be a true water turtle, box turtles have had to carve out their own niche in the world of shelled beings. As a result, they have developed into serious shelled athletes. Climbing? No problem. Swimming? Sure thing. Digging? Already on it. Digging can beContinueContinue reading “Bruce Explains Box Turtles: Digging”
Malti Explains Redfoot Tortoises: Fences
There is no easy way to say this. Tortoises hate fences. They hate them so much that even if there is a football field’s worth of open roaming space on “their” side of the fence, if they see a fence, they will spend every ounce of energy they have trying to break through it. IfContinueContinue reading “Malti Explains Redfoot Tortoises: Fences”

Thursday Thriller: Pearl Cutts in “The Empty Metal Spaceship”
A big part of being successful as an actor is remaining open to the unexpected. Oddly, the same principle holds true for the best “black-ops” secret agents. In fact, often the two roles can even seem to overlap, as so much about both winning new fans and busting bad guys boils down to simple serendipity.ContinueContinue reading “Thursday Thriller: Pearl Cutts in “The Empty Metal Spaceship””
Pearl Explains Parrots: Snack Scouting
Being a part of a flock means always being on the lookout for snacks. If you are hungry, chances are good some or all of your flock mates are hungry too.

Tuesday Gratefuls: Pearl & Shannon Share
Gratitude is like a “stealth day brightener” that is always on the prowl for beings who need cheering up. Often, it seems like gratitude must have feathers, because of its ability to glide up to you so silently and then – kabam! – it whops you with its little gratitude wand and you instantly feelContinueContinue reading “Tuesday Gratefuls: Pearl & Shannon Share”
Monday Happys: Bird Breakfast
It is no secret that, between feathered beings and featherless beings, the beings without feathers have a lot more trouble getting out of bed. On any day of the week, it might require one or several sessions of “shrieking” for a feathered being to rouse his large featherless assistant. On a Monday, even with extraContinueContinue reading “Monday Happys: Bird Breakfast”
