OPEN POST: Meet Celia The Sassy Crow!

As you know, Peckerwood Manor has many unique animals and bird species, though none are as cheeky, nor as fashionable, as Celia The Sassy Crow. She arrived several weeks ago, having been shooed away from Kombitcha's domicile (such a meanie, our 'Bitcha!). And ladies, she is walking that walk, sashaying and swaying, and, yes, giving us full-on cooter bird realness. Because as Celia knows, a gorgeous black trick is always appropriate, thankyouverymuch. 

Just don't tell that to Vinnie The Voguing Peacock, who's long ruled the roost as the Manor's most fashionable (and bitchiest) fowl. It's hard to miss him, since he's always spreading out his train and asking (rhetorically), "Could you not just gag? May I color you impressed? Am I not a burning beacon of raw fashion fabulousness?" 

Unfortunately for Vinnie, with the arrival of Celia, he now has serious competition, for while her feathers are not as colorful as Vinnie's, they are a lustrous, satiny black - and may I remind you, black goes with anything and clashes with nothing. Hot-cha!

So let the battle begin, for at this month's Manor Bird Ball™ (presided over, as usual, by Tanya The Tufted Titmouse), everyone will be waiting with baited breath to see who goes home with the 1st place trophy, which Vinnie, may I also remind you, has had on lock for the past year and a half. Place your bets now. And do be careful, since whoever wins, there will be blood.
