Catch up with Morty here to find out what transpired when Alexa decided to chug a few Red Bull and then enlist her bot buds in some neighborhood shenanigans.

Morty isn’t easily fooled, so this time he really thought that Alexa was trying to make amends for all the crazy bot antics she’s pulled on him recently.
But alas, this month’s edition of Beneath the Cage Grate finds Morty – and mum, miffed at Alexa’s latest stunt.
Never trust a bot bearing gifts!

Games can be fun, especially during long winter nights. Add Alexa and some guest bots to a game of Hide ‘n Seek though and you have the ingredients for mischief… and (short-lived) birdie jail time…
Morty’s January ’23 Beneath the Cage Grate column will leave you laughing and worrying for our poor Morty, fooled again by his bot nemesis Alexa!
Happy New Year Everybirdie!

Poor Morty’s mum, she was anticipating savoring the enjoyment of a Thanksgiving takeout dinner, brought right to the door, no fuss, no muss. Well, let’s just say that didn’t transpire – for Morty’s mum anyway.
Head on over to Morty’s column to find out where – and who, enjoyed the turkey and mashed potatoes and who ended up locked up (but with a full tummy)!

Morty sure has his hands full with Alexa and Roomba this time around. Not only does he have to warn the entire neighborhood of the potential (likely imminent) chaos about to befall everyone, but he also has to avoid becoming part of his botmates’ latest escapade.
Head on over to Morty’s page and catch up with him and the crazy bots!

The ongoing Bot Saga finds Morty (again) in stitches, watching the craziest antics of Roomba and Alexa as they venture off on their latest ill-conceived adventure.
Catch up with Morty in this month’s edition of Beneath the Cage Grate to find out what his two botmates have gotten themselves into!

Cue the theme to the Andy Griffith Show everybirdie, the bots have gone fishin’! What could possibly go wrong?
Catch up with Morty in his May ’22 Beneath the Cage Grate column to find out about Alexa and Roomba’s fishing (mis)adventure!

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.

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!
