Avian Art

Ollie 1-22-13In the July edition of Feathered Frenzy,  Sherri ponders the myriad of ways birds influence our interests and artistic expressions.

She asks, ‘how much of an affect does “parronthood” have on your life?

Sherri shares the many ways her flock has influenced her writing, including the featuring of Ollie (pictured at right) in one of her writings.

For all of us enamored with our feathered companions, take a look around, you’ll be amazed at how our feathered friends inspire us in art, dress, color choices, fashion, and home décor.

Sherri also wants to wish her U.S. readers a safe and happy 4th of July, and readers everywhere a wonderful July!

Bird Watching with Alexa: Beneath the Cage Grate

The other day I was talking with Alexa and I asked her if she might give me some suggestions for a hobby I might pursue. We came to an agreement that bird watching might be a good hobby for me. I could exit right out my window and glide down to the ground below. Alexa could roll out the window and bounce as she hits the ground. We could go bird watching together…- Morty

Read Morty’s June Beneath the Cage Grate submission to find out how he and Alexa ‘disagree’ on bird watching etiquette!

Personality

Anybody who believes that birds don’t have a personality have obviously never had one. It doesn’t take long to see that these extremely intelligent creatures are aware of what’s going on around them. – Sherri Moorer

Bubbles 2019Sherri’s June Feathered Frenzy submission delves into the mysteries and wonders of parrot personality.  What motivates, invigorates and maddens our birds is important for all parronts to understand, acknowledge and address.

Read how Sherri rewards and celebrates the distinctly different yet equally wonderful personalities of Bubbles and Zack in this month’s Feathered Frenzy article.
