Where all the bird news comes to roost!
Morty’s attempt to take his little buddy Squirt turkey hunting turned out to be more than he bargained for.
Morty’s November ’24 Beneath the Cage Grate column will have you crouching in the proverbial bushes, watching Squirt watching for something that he has no idea what he’s even looking for! Gobble Gobble Everybirdie!
Trick or Treat!
What can go wrong you ask when Alexa orders Halloween costumes? Well actually, a few things!
Catch up with Morty on his misadventures during his Halloween outing with Squirt in his October ’23 Beneath the Cage Grate column!
It’s, well, it’s a Morty rant… hard to describe. Morty has issues… a lot of issues, and he’s not holding back in his September Beneath the Cage Grate column! Best head over there now – be prepared to laugh out loud… best not to be drinking or eating anything while reading 🙂
In his August 2023 Beneath the Cage Grate column, Morty explains how, despite Alexa being off at a conference, he still manages to get into some interesting pickles!
With Alexa under house arrest for last month’s antics, Morty and his little buddy Squirt hook up and help Morty’s mom with some gardening.
Things get a ‘wriggly’ when Squirt convinces Morty to help him transport a new-found treasure that he MUST take home to show his mom.
Catch up with Morty and Squirt here and find out how the wriggly gift made it to Squirt’s house, and then what happened to it….
What do you get when you give a wacky Alexa Red Bull? Mayhem!
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.
The age-old question arose at Morty’s house over Easter: who, and what, is the Easter Bunny?
The resident bots have their opinion, Morty on the other hand has a whole different perspective!
Catch up with Morty and the Easter Bunny here and decide for yourself the identity of the holiday’s unofficial chocolate-delivery mascot!
Sometimes, you have to go undercover to carry out a successful recognizance mission. This is just what Morty did in order to find out what Alexa and the bots were conspiring at their top secret Bot Convention.
In the March ’23 edition of Beneath the Cage Grate, Morty finds out more than he wants to know about his botmates, find out what happens and who Alexa has in her sights!
In his February ’23 Beneath the Cage Grate column, Morty finds himself enjoying new-found delights in a new seed mix while trying to figure out why older Village birdie neighbors are so darn grumpy. But, there’s a new birdie in town and Morty has some insights on his new neighbor!
The bots are (again) up to no good and Morty is trying to get invite to the upcoming BOTT convention!
Catch up with Morty for the whole scoop!
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!
