RIP Gandalf and Big Bird, you are missed.
Happy New Year!!!!!
<><><><><><><><><>

The contest is to display a New Year resolution from your bird's point of view. This year I resolve to try a new food, destroy a new toy, stand on a new perch, cuddle in a different position, etc. Use your imagination, but please do *not* put your bird(s) in a compromising situation. Original photos, videos, and Photoshopped entries are welcome. Some may find the last option best!
(Photoshopped images must display safe and realistic situations!!)

<><><><><><><><><><><><><>
The contest opens January 1 and closes January 29. Winner to be announced February 1. One submission per member, "for fun" entries welcome! The winner receives a one month Premium Membership and selected photo displayed on the forum home page for one month.

Hahahahaha! I love it! The doomed nature of Sammy's endeavor makes it all the more endearing.

Remi - Eclectus (Hatched August 2017)
You mentioned photoshop so I couldn't help myself!

This year, I very much aspire to have Remi become the master of her harness. Despite her breeder managing to get her in it, ever since she's been home the harness has been a complete ordeal.

I've always wanted to take her everywhere and I want it to be easy and relaxed getting the harness on and off.

So... here's to getting out in the big wide yonder!

Sam, I can't wait to see your image, but it does not display!

Oh yes, Photoshop or other manipulated. Think of this month's contest as part fantasy!

Sam, I can't wait to see your image, but it does not

I haven't been able to upload several sizes due to such a small quota.
Here's a tiny version of my submission, since I can't edit my old posts.

If I am lucky enough to win, Mods - I can send you a 4K version of the image for the front page (and I can also do so for the voting thread!)

I know I'm whinging but hey I'm a child of an internet when you don't have to worry about filesizes much any more!
