RIP Gandalf and Big Bird, you are missed.
November is a month of celebration throughout the world. Standard calendar-worthy events and some whimsical topics can be a photogenic backdrop for your bird(s).​
********************​
Some offbeat "days of celebration" include World Television, King Tut, Kindness, Sandwich, Cook Something Bold, Button Day, Sesame Street, Mickey Mouse, International Hat, Take a Hike, Eat a Cranberry, French Toast, Absurdity, and World Toilet Day! You may use national/local events as long as not primarily political. Inspiration and rules summary courtesy of good friend Sailboat/Steven!​
********************​
Photoshopped images and videos in conjunction with these and other celebrations/events are welcome. As always, please use discretion and keep your birds safe! Contest opens November 1 and ends November 27, 2018. A poll will be posted November 28, closes November 30, and a winner announced December 1. One official submission per member, "just for fun" entries always desired. Additional guidelines below!​

Great theme, Scott! And wide enough in scope that the variety of entry types will likely be jaw-dropping. I'm looking forward to what this month will bring out in our members and their flock mates!

That is a great one. So who blinked first?

That room has two windows, one with a north view, the other east. Plenty of shadows and the 3 Goffins inhabitants are fascinated. However, ET the TAG pays no attention. Probably knows all about shadows!
