Rosie is the boss. I now know the true meaning of "The Pecking Order".
She is the biggest bird by far, and the only one whose comb is erect.
Daisy is in the worst condition. She is smaller, with very little feathering, and Rosie dominates her ruthlessly. However, she is also the bravest about trying new things, and got first, second and tenth dibs on the lettuce leaves.
Poppy is intimidated by Rosie, and wants to bully Daisy, but she is more intrigued with following where Daisy leads.
Amazing how quickly their personalities have manifested themselves.
All I can think to say about the Featherly Sisters is FABULOUS!

ReplyDeleteBy the way, I found this article from the New York Times about unknown people becoming actors, and it uses a new film by Vincent called "Don't Go In the Woods" as an example.
