Something
Do birds realize that they can do one of the coolest things in the world, and that people have marveled at it and have been trying to accomplish it for hundreds of years? Seriously, being able to fly...

Wonder
Potential is a strange concept. Everyone has the potential to do great things, but that doesn’t mean that they will. The problem is that people don’t believe that they have that potential, and so...

Build
Sure is easy to build a tree when you already have half of a tree right there in front of you. I bet that will be the base, though, and Floyd will build on top of it, because they won’t be able to...

Grand
Lincoln logs should not count either, though Darryl has previously used those. Legos should also be disqualified. He probably shouldn’t use nails or screws unless he has some very thick sticks he’s...

Ordering
There’s a difference between “suggesting” and “ordering,” and it normally is based on how insistent one is about what they think should be done. If you think it would be a good idea, but will be fine...

Outline
There are just some things that you have to do when you have no experience doing something. You just have to wing it, to make it up as you go along, to come up with new terms for things that you...

More building
I don’t actually believe it either, and I wrote the strip. Josh is known for embellishment, you know. Of course, if it is true, then he’s already won the building contest.

Tree building
It’s a bonsai, obviously. What amazes me is the short amount of time that it took for him to make it. Bonsai usually take years, even decades to make. Darryl must have some kind of time...

Clock
Of course, birds don’t need a clock to know what time it is. They just know. “Time to eat!” “Time to sleep!” “Time to migrate!” “Time to fly around!” “Time to chirp!” “Time to sit in a tree and...

Pretending
Some people are very good at bird calls. Some are not. Some don’t do real bird calls at all, and just make whistling noises that may sound like bird calls to some birds. I think birds know better,...

Compose
It’s a sad thing that Lewis will continue to talk to the Josh dummy even when he knows that it is a dummy. He’s that sad and lonely. Kind of makes you want to cry. Then it makes you want to slap...

Sad Composition
There’s a whole lot of really depressing music out there. Lewis will have a lot of kindred spirits. I haven’t heard a whole lot of depressed sounding bird songs, though. It does seem like most bird...

My favorite bird call, however, is from the Southern Boobook, also known as the New Zealand Morepork. It’s a little owl, and its call sounds like “more pork.” Okay, it doesn’t really, but that’s what...

I feel like this with a lot of my creative endeavors sometimes. I have all the elements, but they just aren’t coming together the right way. They’re not getting organized the way they should be....

So tornado season is happening. Those without basements, take Floyd’s advice and take shelter with your neighbors who have them. Or build one, quick.

Exotic Strikes Back
We really haven’t seen that exotic bird in a while. Strange things always seem to happen wherever it goes, thought that’s mostly because it’s causing them itself. Does it have a name? Where does it...

Gimmick
This one’s a bit meta. I was thinking that there’s more that I can do with the exotic bird than just have him “be weird.” So, yeah, I’m going to try to flesh him out a bit more. Because he has...
