“Sterling, I have a question for you.”

“What is it, Felix?”

“Have you been looking in the studio window lately?

“No, I haven’t.”

“Well she captured you. Come see. You are too big to fit on the canvas. Haha. She’s got that right.”

“What in feathers are you talking about?”

“She painted your portrait, old bird. It’s you. She even caught the shimmers in your feathers.”

“Wow, that is me. That is a handsome bird. She caught my oratorical qualities. I like it. Felix, go caw the others. I want them to see what a real bird looks like.”

“Sterling, I have a question for you.”

“What is it, Felix?”

“Point your beak over there. Look. In that window. What’s going on?”

“Felix, you won’t understand. She’s an artist. She’s painting on sticks. They call it an easel. She holds a stick, they call a brush. There is a little bit of fur on the end if you look closely. She drags colors around with it.”

“What? I like those bright shiny colors, but why every day?”

“Felix, why do you fly?”

“I’ve got feathers. That’s why. Open up my wings. Catch a thermal. Let the wind take me places. High places. Everything blurs into colors of light. Freedom. It’s who I am. It makes me feel alive.”

“Exactly.”

“What? Oh. Hmmmm. She has colors, brushes. Makes her feel alive. It gives her freedom.”

“You’re beginning to understand.”

“Sterling, look on the wall. It’s Herald! The artist captured Herald! He’s stuck on the wall. This is awful. I’m going in…”

“Felix, stop, you feather-duster! That’s a painting of Herald. It’s not really him. Back off Buddy. There is a lot you don’t understand.”

Ravens strut and fret any hour upon the snow. Feathers burst into sparring over conflicts of interest. Others stomp or fly away in disgust. Politics.

Mango Bears are all about fun and whimsy. Festive colors and pigment that swishes and blends with a splash here and a swoosh there. Color for the fun of it. Color to make your eyes dance. They want to make you smile. Curious about Mango Bears?
