Writing on the Edge

You humans come up with some really good ideas. I mean, you have no wings, but you have figured out how to fly. That’s pretty amazing all by itself.  Others of your inventions, however, make me wonder about the general sanity of your species. Fortunately, I have hope for humans. Some of your fellow humans have also realized...

Humans have a phrase that makes no sense to us birds.  You like to say "You eat like a bird" to people who don't eat much. That doesn't work, you silly creatures.

You clearly demonstrate how little you understand us. Birds, you must understand, have a very high metabolism, which means we're hungry pretty mu...

This Internet thing you humans developed is fascinating. I’ve been able to find all kinds of weird stuff, including some fun and funny pictures.  Although the pictures look like fun, there’s often a severe lack of info about what’s going on in the picture. Here’s one such a picture.  What would you pu...

Let's play a game. I'll describe a familiar object. Your job?  Figure out what it is.  If you are successful, I will whistle in your honor later.  Okay?

This device is small and flat. It has a window that does things when you touch it. Humans use this device to read books, play games, and tra...

A couple days ago, my human's boss posted a writing prompt.  My human decided to turn it into today's blog post.  You will be relieved to know that there are birds involved. In fact, I knew the birds.  They were much smaller than I was, and they squawked with an Australian accent.  They were small for p...

My human agreed to a guest blog post for today.  That's okay.  I needed a little extra shut-eye.  So, read this while I go take a nap. There's a lot of good information here! ... Oh, and there are no cats, dogs, or pink monkeys this time, so you're safe.

Where did the idea for Re...

My human volunteered my blog for a guest post today and Friday. Normally, I wouldn't mind a break from dispensing advice to humans.  I mean, every now and then I need a good nap and a time to preen, but this time, it's just too much!  My human agreed to a post about cats!  Cats!!  Can you believe it? *HISS* I'll ha...

Humans have different kinds of living arrangements. Many live in the nest with just a mate and however many chicks there are. There are also arrangements where a bunch of different individuals and family groups live in different parts of the same building.

Animals also have those kinds of setups. In fact, I live in a...

Let's play a game.  I'll describe a familiar object.  Your job?  Figure out what it is.  If you are successful, I will whistle in your honor later.  Okay?  Here we go!

This stuff looks solid, and after smacking into it once, I am personally certain that it is, but my human swears that it...

As funny as birds are, we don’t have the market cornered on silliness. Here’s a great video of another species being amusing. Have fun!  *WARNING* Video contains a dog.  You have been warned.
