It's an old story; you know it well: the gruff, sometimes fearsome person, prickly, difficult to get close to, who, upon a breach of their thorny exterior, turns out to be gentle, even afraid, a sensitive creature longing to love. I mean, it's in practically every movie. It can now also be in your living room, thanks to Hybrid-Home's Bird of A Feather pillow, which includes the additional feature of a graphical, allegorical representation: an implacable, carnivorous owl, who's really just a pigeon on the inside, with an enormous heart. Looks great, and probably reminds you of someone you love.
