July POTM Contest!


*****


This month's theme is Birdie Yoga! (Partially inspired by a certain RB post!)

*****

We've all seen our birds inexplicably settle into positions that range from amusing, to amazingly flexible, to downright freakish. Please submit a photo of your bird in his/her favorite yoga pose, along with your title for said pose. (No Photoshop this time around, please.)

*****

No more than one entry per member, though you are free to post as many related "just for fun" photos as you'd like.

*****

The winner will receive a Free One Year Premium Membership to Parrot Forums, and the winning photo will be displayed on the Home Page for the following month!

*****

Submissions will be accepted from today, July 1st through Friday, July 28th. At the conclusion of the submission period, a 3 day poll will be held to determine the winner.

*****

Good luck, everyone!!!


*Just for fun*

The "Inverse Booty Checker" AKA, "Does this stand make my butt look big?"


The "Scowling Owl"


The "Downward Facing Diva"

The Rb and I are profoundly honored, Moderator Anansi, for having served as your muse.

Well, I am honored... The Rb woud just try to bite you and call you a "Kirby"... his worst insult (my ol' man's name, the Rb's rival).

Looks as if the OG DOWNWARD ROOSTER may be posing anew...

The photos so far are wonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnderful!

Great idea for a POTM!

Sweet theme for July, Doc! Great entries already, this will be a fun contest.

Thanks to the RB for the inspiration behind July's contest.

I'm cracking up at the names folks are giving to the yoga positions.

Yoga is a natural for birds, given two pairs of versatile appendages! Especially when wing and leg are intertwined!

JUST FOR FUNS

The bird displays disdain in this "mooning"-like pose
**********

The bird pretends to contemplate the meaning of life but in reality is fantasizing about the hen who laid it.
**********

The bird pretends to stretch while subtly making a rude gesture.
**********

The bird perches on a yoga mat... er... yoga bowl and stares at the parront,
threatening to tell all the parront's secrets to the nosy neighbors.
**********

Self-explanatory.
