  Episode Notes  
Magical artifacts in this episode:

Shield Bracelet: Given to him by his father, the bracelet was originally his mother’s and it is said to be able to protect the wearer from evil. Harry’s mother wasn’t wearing it when she died.

The Doom Box: Created by Bob, this box is filled with magical energy and functions like a magical time bomb or mystical hand grenade.
 
This was not the original pilot of the show. The original pilot was supposed to be two hours long, but instead the executives at Sci Fi switched this episode with the pilot. The original pilot Storm Front will be aired later on the season, and it will be cut down to a one hour episode.
 
  Episode Quotes  
Harry: (narrating) When I was a kid my father told me there was no such thing as monsters; my nightmares were just figments of my imagination. As I got older I had to wonder, was he lying to me... or just wrong.
 
Bob: Well, why don't you go tell the boy that, at least.
Harry: 'Cause I don't have an address.
Bob: Find some organic residue and, uh, cast a searching spell. Perhaps the boy left some snot under the diner's table.
Harry: Bob!
Bob: What? Where there's children, there's snot!
 
Bob: Careful! These equations are very precise and if you walk through them I will start belting show tunes from the 16th century.
Harry: Please, anything but that.
 
  Cultural References  
Pop Goes the Weasel:

Referring to the old nursery rhyme by the same name, 'Pop Goes the Weasel' dates back to the 1700's. The original meaning of the rhyme is very different from modern connotations where 'Pop' is very messy and morbid.
 
Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden:

The main character of The Dresden Files is named for several of the most famous magicians of the 20th century: Harry Houdini, Harry Blackstone Sr., and David Copperfield.
 
  Analysis  
"Birds of a Feather"

The title of the episode "Birds of a Feather" refers to the old adage, "Birds of a feather, flock to together". This refers not only to the obvious bird reference in the episode with the Crows, but also Dresden and the boy, who are also very much alike.
