Where all the bird news comes to roost!
Trouble may be brewing for our intrepid columnist Morty, it seems Alexa has designs on his column!
Alexa distracted Morty long enough to respond to a letter from Bubbles.
Catch up with Morty and his infiltrating botmate and tell us if Alexa has the chops for contributing to Beneath the Cage Grate.
A new year, a mad bot! Alexa hasn’t quite gotten over having her Christmas present taken away from her. Just when mum thought she could enjoy some time visiting with neighbors, Alexa decides it’s time to bring out the forbidden Christmas present and go for a spin: what could possibly go wrong? Catch up with Morty in his February ’22 Beneath the Cage Grate to find out indeed what could – and did go wrong!
Happy New Year everybirdie!
Morty sends greetings – and a call for help! It seems Santa Claws’s present for Alexa proved fateful, or ill-fated, or disastrous… Call it what you will, but the chaos that ensued following the unwrapping of one particular present created quite the kerfuffle, with Morty and mom still recovering! Read all about Morty’s 2021 Christmas ‘entertainment’ here.
Happy December 1st Everybirdie!
It’s that time of year when all the good little birdies & bots prepare their Christmas letters and wish lists for Santa. And oh yes, Morty has been busy finalizing his wish list and eavesdropping on those of his botmates.
Morty’s mom has collected everyone’s letters & wish lists and is graciously sharing with everybirdie! Read Morty’s and his botmates’ Christmas wish lists here!
Oh dear, poor Morty’s attempts at preparing the perfect Thanksgiving dinner is thwarted, again, by his bot-mate Alexa.
There are some things a seasoned cook knows not to do with a slow cooker… or maybe not.
Catch up with Morty here to find out what happened.
A parrot and two bots go trick or treating… what could possibly go wrong? Well, a lot actually 🙂
Morty’s tale of his recent Halloweenie adventure will have heads, and skulls, rolling with laughter! Read about the trio’s Halloweenie 2021 adventure here!
Boo!
Most gardens are quiet spaces where birds flutter about and the flowers grow in beautiful silence… this is not the case in Morty’s mum’s garden it seems.
Besieged by plant marauders and flying monsters, Alexa and Roomba attempt another garden battle with some mischievous critters.
This edition is definitely one for the history books! Head on over to the September ’21 Beneath the Cage Grate column and prepare to laugh along with Morty over the latest garden skirmishes!
Alexa has really stirred the conspiracy pot this time, and Morty is getting concerned that feathers will start flying in protest.
In Morty’s latest column we find him wondering what’s real, what’s a government plot, and what the local shrews may be planning… Head over to the August ’21 edition of Beneath the Cage Grate and help Morty sort out this conspiracy.
Morty has definitely outdone himself with his July’ 21 Beneath the Cage Grate column!
This issue has everything that Morty’s fans could ask for – silly bots, garden trespassers, chatty birds and a free-wheelin’ human!
This issue will surely tickle everybirdie’s funny bone.
Oh dear, life at Morty’s house has been, well, challenging of late. Morty continues to battle with 3 goofy bots while also still being thwarted in his strenuous efforts to trim the bonsai! And now, there’s something new and incredibly irritating that has Morty in a fluff – a new nail trimmer (gasp).
In Morty’s latest Beneath the Cage Grate column we find our intrepid grey-feathered investigator dealing with more things than one birdie should ever have to juggle!
