A selection of Various Birds
Bird Years
In Human time, Bert was only four months old, but in Bird years, he was 16. Since neither of his parents had a car he could use to impress the chicks, he figured he would have to count on bling. He wished he could speed up the process just a little . . .
Glows in the Dark
Marvin had texted his new romantic interest stating that his ruby throat “glows in the dark”. He hoped that she wouldn’t be too disappointed if he had exaggerated just a little, or, worse yet, conclude he was from Chernobyl or Area 51 . . .
Prejudice
Quinton had a hard time believing his father was that prejudiced–when he told them about his new friends, all his father could day was, “Cold blooded reptiles, with shells so heavy they could never fly; what are you thinking, boy?”
All You Can Eat Crawfish
The all-you-can-eat concept sounded good, but Joaquin hadn’t read the fine print–it wasn’t boiled crawfish brought to your table, you had to catch them, they weren’t cooked, and they still had the shells on . . .
Best Used By Date
Elaine was under the gun–this breeding plumage would only last so long. The guys she met speed dating talked about little more than the 15 inch mullet they had caught for breakfast–or last year’s mate. The online dating sites and singles bars hadn’t been any better. She had hoped to find a math or science guy; some one to boost the collective gene pool percentile numbers . . .
