It's been a minute since we've had a good old fashioned animal artist segment, so we've remedied that! Julia Wernicke was a fantastic Argentine painter and engraver most known for her painting "Los Toritos" or Little Bulls. So, naturally we also thought we'd do a little bull mythology! If you have another animal artist we should cover, please reach out!

Funky Anteaters! What else is there to say? Well that and Tamarind margharitas, scream-snoring and a Ready Pet Go from Annaleisa and Esther!

Happy New Year! We're manifesting, we're seizing, we're... we're auto-hemorrhaging when disturbed and waiting for the Spring Equinox to make any actual resolutions. It's 2025, the year of the snake, and we're talking wood snakes, working smart not hard and what we didn't know about the Chinese Zodiac! Plus, we have a wonderful Ready Pet Go from Amanda and Kit Kat!

It's our last episode of the year and what better way to wrap up 2024 and our Corvid Compendium with this, the Queen of the Corvids, the Magpie! We discuss superstition, nursery rhymes and learn that not all Magpies are the gothic babes we westerners might think of. 

Thank you all so much for supporting us this year! We can't wait to yap like magpies with you some more in 2025!

Happy Holidays Comfies xxx

The compendium continues this week with some very cute cold weather corvids, this week we discuss Boreal Jays. This includes Canadian Jays, Siberian Jays, and Sichuan Jays! We also discuss the difficulties of moving with pets and we have a wonderful Ready Pet Go from Meg and Francine, AKA the Lesbian Menagerie update we've all been waiting for!

Tis the season for Sugar Plum Faries, dancing swans and, of course, Nutcrackers. But did you know the Nutcracker isn't just decorative wooden man, but actually a kind of CORVID? Well it is! And this week we learn all about the Nutcracker bird as we continue our Corvid Compendium. Plus, we have a very fun Ready Pet Go from Altaay and Mochi!

We continue the Corvid Compendium this week with a chatter of Choughs... and a conversation about them too. We're also joined by Emilie -- artist, cat-mum and witness to a Miracle! Happy Thanksgiving to all those who celebrate, we're very thankful for all of you!

This week we continue our Corvid Compendium with one of the most colorful corvid's, the blue jay! These beautiful birds are of course extremely clever, have great mythology and... may not actually be blue?! Tune in!

Alexis has been working hard to become a city witch by befriending the neighborhood ravens. This made us curious about all of our corvid friends! So, we're starting the Corvid Compendium, where we take a deep dives into various corvids! We begin with the classic: Ravens! They're mysterious, smart, and full of some very fascinating mythology, some of which is still relevant today! Will London fall if the Tower of London ravens leave? Seems highly likely to us!
