The Theme for the October POTM is
Birds Celebrating Halloween!
They can be holding props, making a witch's brew, wearing costumes, have funny sayings that are Halloween themed, the sky is the limit.
Please keep it family friendly:)
We are allowing Photoshop for this one, but it is not required:)
No more than one (1) entry per member. (But extra entries just for fun are always welcomed!)
The Winner will receive a FREE one (1) year Premium Membership, and the winning picture will be on the Forum's Homepage for the month of November.
Entries will be from October 1 - 28, and the voting will be from October 29 - 31, with the winner announced on November 1.


I'm terrible at Photoshop, but here is an example using poor Darwin:)

An example of using props featuring the great Poppy!

This is going to be a tough one! I can't see any of my birds not freaking out around Halloween decorations or costumes and my photoshop skills are horrible. We shall see...

The halloween POTM is always my favorite! Love seeing all the birdies who allow costumes (and photoshop this year will be fun too)!

Maybe Mr. Grouchy-butt who's molting ATM will let me get a 'for fun' pic of him covered in pin feathers. He kinda looks like a cactus:D

Just get him a sombrero and a mustache. He'll be a good little cactus.

Yes it is. That is that look of shame right there for his naughty poo on the carpet earlier, so I used my magical photoshop powers to turn the little devil into a pumpkin:D
