Pteri Day Special

Pteri Poem
by littlegaytroll

A Pteri is a special pet,
the type not everyone will get.
But if you do, you'll quickly learn
that there is no need for concern!

You may know that this pet can fly,
but did you know the reason why?
His heart is filled with so much love
it sends him to the sky above.

You can feed your Pteri
an apple, or a cherry,
and if he's feeling sadly,
this will surely make him gladly;

'Cause if you're feeling lonely,
you can count on Pteri only.

Even if you don't believe it
if a Pteri comes, receive it.

Laughter in the Trees
by _cherry_kisses_

Nesting high above Tyrannia, 
a Pteri will come to play.
You can hear her squawking 
laughter from long miles away.
She might swoop down and steal 
your hat for a brief moment,
or make you drop your neopoints,
the ones you haven’t spent.
Sometimes she’ll even dress up
to look like a different pet.
A Chia hiding in a tree?
Bet you haven’t seen that yet!
But you don’t have to worry.
It’s always all in fun.
A Pteri likes to play
during all hours of the sun.
She’ll play lots of tricks on you,
as many as she pleases.
Then she and all her friends
will sail off on cool breezes.

Faerie Pteri Acrostic
by fourin

Whimsical Pteri of faerie kind,
Happy and gentle of heart and mind,
Ever one poised to unwind,
Neath summer sun does one remind.

Tranquil and carefree, of all the Pteri,
High atop trees, by mountains, and prairie,
Ensured by safe nest or secured aviary.

Fly away, Pteri, any place you dare,
Aloft by the whims of weather and air,
Embellished with vibrant colour and flair,
Radiant Pteri, your feathers so rare,
Inspiring as rainbows, vivid and fair,
Even fiery sunsets cannot compare.

Petrifying Pteri of brilliant hue,
The world far below from your point of view,
Enchanted by your colours so true,
Resplendently beautiful, through and through,
In gentlest of clouds above you flew,
Skies versed with song and harmonious tune.

Fly away, Pteri,
Lost in splendid dreams of flight,
Yes, it's a charmed life,

The Black Pteri Caws
by treblesome

In the night, 
the Black Pteri caws.
For deep in his heart,
paranoia gnaws. 

He sits and he watches,
in the light of the moon.
For the Black Pteri knows
THEY are coming soon.

His sharp claws extended,
he's geared for a fight.
Hawk wand raised,
he looks quite a fright!

With feathers of midnight
and a sharp grey beak.
With beady red eyes
and a loud, shrill shriek.

It’s easy to assume
that he’s up to no good,
But perhaps the Black Pteri
is misunderstood?

For maybe beneath
his rough, harsh exterior
is a lovely, and tender,
and lonely interior.

A lone wolf of a bird
who never belongs.
But deep in his heart,
for connection, he longs.

So next time you hear
his caw of despair,
offer some comfort
…if you dare.

The Island Pteri: A High-Flying Friend
by _brainchild_

The Island Pteri soars through air---
He simply doesn't have a care.
O'er isle of mystery he glides---
His smooth flight is performed with pride.

His feathers glimmer in the light---
They really are a lovely sight!
His stripes are oh so mystical---
Though simple, they're quite wonderful.

The necklace, made of island leaves,
Is fragrant. Guaranteed to please,
A tooth accompanies the fronds.
Of foliage I'm rather fond!

So, if you seek a flying friend,
The Pteri, awesome to no end,
Will bring you lots of joy as he
Soars through the clear blue sky with glee.

The Golden Pteri
by corrina404

Wings soaring through the sky,
The Pteri glides glides so very high,
The sun shimmers on golden wings,
Granting the blessings this day brings.

Other Pteris wait their turn,
For this event they all do learn,
Your fortune comes on this very day,
No matter if you are blue, brown or grey.

The Golden Pteri brings you joy,
For Neopoints he is the envoy,
Pteris share in all his treasure,
His generosity we cannot measure.

A loyalist he is too,
For if a Pteri is not you,
The Golden Pteri flies on by,
Continuing his journey through the sky.

If its riches we do want,
Then the Golden Pteri does taunt,
But no one ever question his way,
On this happiest Pteri day.

Pterattack
by swordlilly

In old Tyrannia it used to be tough
For a small Green Pteri to survive.
He had to build his nest high enough
To avoid predators-- and he had to dive
Daily into the throng
Of omelette-seekers. One wrong
Turn, and he could be left behind.

Flocks of Pteradactyls would pass him by
On his daily trip to the plateau.
Some green and some orange, all would fly
At breakneck speeds-- literally. They'd go
So fast, he had to swerve
Left, right, left again, curve
To avoid being struck blind.

Then there were the Red Grarrls too, mad
With hunger, ploughing through the small
Villages, stomping the earth. He had
To make room-- sometimes he'd sprawl
Into a narrow gap, away
From them. He had to stay
His course, keep his goal in mind.

Pterattack is an old memory now.
The small Green Pteri no longer needs
To fight for food. And yet, somehow,
As he rests in the Neolodge-- beads
Of grief fall down his face.
The old danger, the fear, the chase,
All of it is gone. He has been left behind.

A Pteri's Game
by cpssgh1004

Often we wander to Tyrannia,
To play a game of mini golf in the hot sun.
But did you know how it all began?
Just two pals looking to have some fun!

Gif'n the Pteri and his pal Milo,
Were bored out of their minds one day.
Until they noticed a small Symol hole,
And with a rock they began to play.

Gif'n and Milo spent hours,
Trying to knock the rock in the hole.
By using a stick the game evolved,
And the least number of strokes became the goal.

What would they name this new activity?
An idea came using both their names.
Mini Golf is an anagram of Gif'n and Milo,
Thus creating one of Neopia's most favourite games.

This Pteri day let us celebrate Gif'n,
And play a round of this time honoured tradition.

Kaytori, the Mystical Pteri
by patter_paws

Kaytori is not a normal Pteri.
She possesses an ability
to be admired.

An exquisite messenger
on shining wing,
she soars past.

Holding an envelope
with heartfelt messages
from one soul to another.

She flies across the sky
where we cannot go,
from this world to the next.

The living world,
although beautiful at times,
also contains much sorrow.

For those who have left us,
we cannot reach.
They have left us, it seems, for good.

Write out your messages,
Tuck them away-
to loved ones dearly departed.

Kaytori will take them
on a journey so far,
across the veil which denies us.

When she returns,
she will bring their replies-
forgiveness, messages of longing.

Pterimisu
by punk_rocker_pip

The perfect Pteri day dessert is Pterimisu
It is perfect after a hearty dinner like beef stew
Grab your fork or maybe a big spoon
It is just as tasty as the fare at the Golden Dubloon

The bottom layer is made of with a ladyfinger cookie
They are sweet but can be quite crunchy
Stop by Neopia’s Coffee Cave for some Espresso
Soak them until they are soft like dough

Next, layer with creamy mascarpone cheese
It is tangy, rich, and best of all no bake
Spread it on top like frosting on a cake
Just one bowl makes cleanup a breeze

Repeat the layers: one, two, three, four
This dessert is going to be sky high
It is guaranteed to satisfy
Just one step more


Top off with a generous dusting of cocoa powder
Or chocolate curls if you prefer
And pipe on some sweetened whipped cream
This rich Pterimisu tastes like a dream.

The Prankster Pteri
by lovelylittledreamer

one thing you may not know,
about our winged creature friends,
is that the Pteri is quite the jokester,
and will prank others to no end,

high about the plateau,
they soar, 
and swoop,
and dive,
and laugh at the unfortunate pet,
that's the victim of their strike,

their squawk will render those to take cover,
and leap into the clear,
for the Pteri is tricky one,
but not one you should fear,

because though they are mischievous,
they are also fun to watch,
with beautiful feathered wings,
they fly up above the tree tops,

but there may be one particular,
that you might want to steer clear,
the Black Pteri who howls doom and misery,
for all to hear.

Let's Fly!
by ennyra

Come on let's go,
Let's fly away.
In celebration of
This Pteri Day!

We'll explore new lands,
From Tyrannia to Kiko Lake.
We can go all day,
And still be home for cake!

Can you think of a better way,
To spend this special time?
Than to be up above the trees,
Higher than anyone could climb.

A Pteri point of view,
It's a hard one to beat.
They can take it all in,
It's an impressive feat.

So today everybody,
Grab your favourite wings.
We're all taking to the skies,
To do and see some amazing things!

Cry of the Pteri
by triarthrus_eatoni

What can be said about Pteris?
Their colour, their sizes, it varies!
How do we love them, it's very!
Such splendorous, wonderful Pteris.

They fly from the sky with a cry,
and to the ground they storm.
They dance in their flight with some might,
and it was the Mootix that to them they give scorn.

Faerie or Mutant, it's certain,
that just behind that pulled curtain,
the Pteris are there to be seen,
their feathers giving a resplendent sheen.

Oh for the Pteris but a day,
to swim through the air in their sway,
Pteris are much more than just okay,
and today, they'll have their own way.

An Ode To The Rainbow Pteri
by fizztop

Hiding above the clouds,
Red and orange, yellow and blue,
If you are standing amongst the crowds,
You might see it flying over you.

A well known Mystery Island dweller,
Only the lucky may catch a falling feather,
The rest will need to find a seller,
For the Rainbow Pteri feather is a treasure.

Those Neopians who adore it so, 
May enjoy collecting pieces of its beautiful glory,
Whether it be a Plushie or a 3D model you want to show, 
There are many ways to tell its story.  

And for those with extra Neopoints to spare, 
Would you care to add to your album a stamp or two, 
Once completed the Other page is a breath of fresh air,
With an avatar to look forward to. 

On the Neoboards you may post,
And share your appreciation, 
For nothing deserves more of a boast,
Than the Rainbow Pteri’s adoration.

The Down for Maintenance Pteri
by t0tor0

“Why won’t this stupid page just load?”
You groan, trying not to explode.
A big Red Pteri flutters down
And strolls up to you with a frown.

“The site is down for maintenance!”
You sigh but keep your countenance.
“Perhaps you could go play outside?”
The Pteri asks. Your eyes go wide.

“But what about my Neopets?”
You counter. “Or my Food Club bets?”
“It’s half-price day today, and I
Was planning to restock—or try.”

The ominous bird cackles. *BRAAWWKK!*
“You may as well go take a walk.
You won’t get much done here today—
Well, not without a long delay.”

“Come back tomorrow, maybe then
The site will be back up again.
For now, here are some games to play—
I’m off observing Pteri Day!”

Fly With Me
by kellyclark1115

Today is a special day,
it only comes once a year.
It's Pteri day! Celebrating ME!
And of course, all the Pteris that appear.

Join me in the air,
everyone's up here!
Luckily we have good weather,
the sky has never been more clear.

Zooming up and down,
looping here and there,
everyone flies quick and fast,
without a single care.

Suddenly it's time to start,
the annual Pteri Flying Championships!
I'm going to grab a snack,
would you care for some chips?

Who do you think will win?
My bets are on the Pink Pteri.
I've been watching her all year!
My next guess would be the Faerie.

And they're off! Amazingly quick!
I can barely follow with my eyes.
Who's that in first?
The Grey Pteri? What a surprise!

The Neovian Printing Press Shopkeeper
by precious_katuch14

There's one place in Neovia
To go for a good book.
Its Pteri shopkeeper
Bids you take a look.

Books, magazines, and maps galore,
Monthlies, weeklies and bi-weeklies.
The Pteri spreads out her wings.
So much to read, so much to see!

She flies up and down her ladder,
Knows all her shelves by heart.
And rumour has it, so they say,
The books are but a start.

"Haven't you heard?" she whispers,
"The Crumpetmonger's hopping mad."
You raise a brow and ask why.
"Oh, a customer's been quite a cad."

"You know Prigpants and Swolthy?
"Those uppity tailors downtown?
"I know things about them
"That are sure to make you frown."

Then she offers you a tablet,
The Lost Desert Expose.
"All that sand buries many secrets,
"But we'll find them out anyway!"

"Need the dirt on Brightvale?
"The Bi-Weekly's got a story!
"And did you ever want to know
"The Secrets of the Chocofactory?"

There's one place in Neovia,
To go for the latest gossip.
Its Pteri shopkeeper
Bids you listen to her tips!

Pteri of Pterattack
by therainbowsheep

A flash of green in the sky,
A speedy Pteri flies by.
In deep canyons takes place this chase,
Zap the evil pterodactyls; it is a race!

Since this is Tyrannia, the Pteri must beware
Of the big red Grrarl that lurks there.
He causes chaos while trampling huts,
And avoiding him can be close cut.

For power-ups our Pteri forges ahead,
Options are blue, green, purple and red!
Collect more of one colour to fire strong,
With maximum power the Pteri can't go wrong.

Up for the challenge, he soars with ease
Beating the game will be a breeze.
Known for their liveliness and being fun,
With good humour Pteris always get the job done!

Pterattack
by theguy2020

Can be found in the games room,
Your goal is to shoot the moving objects to their doom,
You play as a Pteri who can move around,
Try to collect the power up that are just waiting to be found!

There are four different types that have different effects,
Personally I think the FireBall has the best specs,
Starting out as a single shot but can be upgraded,
Get it to final form and your enemies will be jaded!

As the levels progress the game isn't as easy,
So make sure whatever weapon you get is upgraded and it'll continue to be breezy,
PterBoom as expected is like a boomerang,
An upgraded version is more dangerous than a fang!

Watch out for the giant Grarrl or you'll lose a life,
He can't even touch you or it'll be a strife,
Follow these tips and you'll score well,
The game is exciting I'm sure you can tell!

Watch Me Fly
by travel74147

I’m not limited to the floor beneath me.
The sky’s infinite space surrounds me.
My feathers ruffle and I struggle through the Tyrannian plains’ strong winds,
Yet I am not broken. This is exactly where I am supposed to be.

I’m not limited to the floor beneath me.
The sky’s infinite space surrounds me.
I bob and weave through the branches as I anticipate what’s to come.
Never looking back behind me for what could have been.

I’m not limited to the floor beneath me.
The sky’s infinite space surrounds me.
The cold air fills my lungs and I feel more alive than I have.
I let out a vivacious and elegant sound.

I’m not limited to the floor beneath me.
The sky’s infinite space surrounds me.
I dive, climb, and soar up in the clouds floating high above the Tyrannian plateau.
Never have I been so free, appreciating the simplicity flight brings me.

I’m not limited to the floor beneath me.
The sky’s infinite space surrounds me.
This is exactly where I am supposed to be.
Watch me fly.
