Presents from Parents: Re-Gifting

Parrots are very giving and generous. Whatever they have, they want to share it. If they love you, they want to share it even more….and share even more of it. This means that once you welcome a being with feathers into your life, every day is like your birthday. You will get surprise presents justContinueContinue reading “Presents from Parents: Re-Gifting”

Thursday Thriller: Pearl Cutts in “A Green Mystery Visitor”

When you are famous and very feathery, keeping your calendar straight can become a real challenge! Of course, ideally, this is something your (well trained) large featherless assistant would handle for you. Ideally…. But sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands when there has been (yet another) scheduling snafu. Love & FeathersContinueContinue reading “Thursday Thriller: Pearl Cutts in “A Green Mystery Visitor””

Pearl Explains Parrots: Showering

Parrots, like all unique species, like to develop their own individual ways of doing things. Take showering, for instance. There are so many fun ways to shower! For example, you could just wait for the water to fall from the sky and then not hide when it does. Of course, you have to be anContinueContinue reading “Pearl Explains Parrots: Showering”

Tuesday Gratefuls: Pearl & Shannon Share

If you’ve ever had an imaginary friend, you already know exactly what it is like to feel grateful. It is there, but you are the only one who knows it.

Monday Happys: Meetings

There are so many great reasons to include a feathered being in your life….especially on a Monday. For example, Mondays are notorious for including events called “meetings” that the large featherless beings never seem to want to go to. This is likely because, unlike weekend meetings where you can choose your own attendees, start time,ContinueContinue reading “Monday Happys: Meetings”

Malti Explains Redfooted Tortoises: Bathrooming

Like all living beings, Malti has plenty of bathrooming to do. But since Malti was the first tortoise I’ve ever lived with, and she has only one bathroom opening (in her tail) just like my parrot, Pearl (his is under his tail), I guess I just assumed it would all come out together (pee andContinueContinue reading “Malti Explains Redfooted Tortoises: Bathrooming”

Bruce Explains Box Turtles: Diet

Different species of turtles and tortoises like to eat different types of victuals. For instance, if you are a box turtle, you like protein. You especially like it when it is live and wriggling and you can hunt it. If you are a box turtle named Bruce and you see a plump, live, wriggling prey,ContinueContinue reading “Bruce Explains Box Turtles: Diet”

Happiest Thanksgiving from the Feathers and the Shells!

Oh boy! The day of giving thanks is finally here! As everyone here at Casa Feathers n Beak n Shells knows, Thanksgiving = victuals….and specifically, victuals prepared by a certain pampered grandbird’s own personal Small Chef. This also means the menu is guaranteed to be GOOOOOOD. And wow – it sure is hard to believeContinueContinue reading “Happiest Thanksgiving from the Feathers and the Shells!”

Pearl Explains Parrots: Breakfast

Parrots can seem quite mystifying to the uninitiated. Both spontaneous and set in their ways, independent and clingy, daily life “with parrot” can take some getting used to (here, luckily there is “cuteness” to smooth the ride a bit!). One daily ritual whose importance simply cannot be over-stated is “parrot breakfast.” Not only is theContinueContinue reading “Pearl Explains Parrots: Breakfast”
