The August POTM Theme is Lazy Days of Summer!





This month we are looking for your birds being lazy. They can be drowsy, sleeping, or just doing absolutely nothing. Only photos for this one (no videos) but Photoshop is allowed!

The contest will run thru August 29th, and a poll for voting will go up then. 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.
One official entry per person, but you can add as many Just for Fun entries as you want!



Examples:

RIP Gandalf and Big Bird, you are missed.
Should be a great contest! This terrible heat in the northern hemisphere is wilting me and making many of my birds incredibly lazy!

Kiwi is so sweet, just taking a nap and waiting for you to finish so you can play:)

Bad quality photo! I have some super sharp and high quality photos of lazy sunny, but this one despite the bad quality encompasses the theme for me.
If not allowed, I have a (high quality) alternative :)

Sunny looks beautiful, enjoying being lazy with you! I wish I looked as good as you do without makeup:)

This month is off to a rip-roaring start! Great idea for a theme, Terry!

Birdie napping on my knee.

This pic is a testament to Birdie's trust in you. Not one nail finding purchase in the material of your clothing, not one foot clenched. Just completely relaxed, sleeping without a care in the world. Nice!

Hahahahaha! With that sideways lean going on there, it looks like Kiwi is fighting a losing battle to stay awake! "I'm awake, Mom! Really, I... I... zzzzzzz... I'm awake, Mom!"

Now that is the very picture of complete and total contentment! Anyone who still believes birds can't form facial expressions should take a peek right here.

There's just something magical about a conure's ability to wedge themselves into any space and conform their bodies to a shape that makes that space seem like it was made for them! You both seem so connected to one another. So at peace. I love it!

Ember is knocked out HARD! Hahaha! With the V8 lean and everything! I love it when cockatiels get their puff on like that. With my dearly departed Suzie, I always called it his "old man" face.
