Where all the bird news comes to roost!
Easter egg hunts are usually lots of fun, but for Roomba and Alexa, their recent Easter egg hunt resulted in a chain of events that left egg on Alexa’s face, and poor Roomba scrambled. Morty tags along (towards the end of this tale) and is rewarded for being the wise parrot that he is – and for avoiding a major brush up with property residents! Find out how this eventful Easter egg hunt unfolded here.
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.
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!
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.
Morty’s on the cusp of gaining total control… maybe. In his May’ Beneath the Cage Grate column, Morty provides us with a glimpse of potential things to come in his house… and how he just might get another bite of mom’s treasured bonsai yet! Catch up with Morty and hear about his latest angle to conquer bots, mom and, just maybe, the whole household!
Oh dear, it seems Alexa and Roomba’s Easter egg hunt took a couple of wrong, and funny, turns. Morty of course was closely observing their antics from a safe distance, careful to get the whole story whilst not getting his feathers tarnished (or dipped in egg).
Everybirdie should hop on over to Morty’s April column to read about his two roommates’ Easter egg-venture!
