August's POTM theme is
"Days of Destruction"




We want to see pictures of your Fids destroying toys, food or anything at all (as long as it is safe!). You can also just post pics of your birds with the aftermath of destruction in case you can't get a pic of them actually doing the destroying.
No Photoshopping is allowed for this one.
The contest will run thru August 28, and a poll for voting will be up on the 29th. Winner will be announced on September 1.
The winner will receive a Supporting Membership for a year, and their photo will be on the front page for the month of September.


Here are a few examples:

Talli and his Birdie Muffin

George
(Thank you MiissAllie for your pic of George!)

* We recommend using Imgur or Parrot Forums for hosting your pictures since so many pictures are disappearing from Photobucket.


Don't forget to vote in the July Poll, which will be up until tomorrow afternoon due to the Photobucket issues!

Photos of parrots engaging in destructive behavior? Talk about a great, universal theme! I'm looking forward to a flood of pics on this one!

Off to a great start with Kermit's antics!

Great theme for August's contest, Terry! Who doesn't enjoy watching a parrot disassemble a great new toy?

Enjoy the contest, Everyone!
Best of luck!​

RIP Gandalf and Big Bird, you are missed.
Can't wait to see the entries chronicling a bird's most basic behavior. (aside from eating and reproducing!)

Gabby had a really good time destroying this cardboard lid. Although he has passed away, he will always have a place in my heart.
