The January POTM Theme was

"Perfectly Imperfect"

First, I want to personally thank you for all the wonderful entries, this month is especially near and dear to my heart.
This is definitely my favourite theme that I have posted, and I'm so glad that so many have participated. Every entry has made me smile through my tears, and I know Phoe is happy to know that his fellow Perfectly Imperfect Fids have shown their true beauty here. I think this is the essence of who we are as a forum community, that we love unconditionally.
Thank you for making this month special.

The poll is now open, with the winner announced when the poll closes on the morning of February 1st.
Please remember to vote for your favourite! (You can vote for your own entry!) The Poll isn't available using Tapatalk, just switch to any browser to vote.
This is going to be a hard one to choose just one from, and I so wish we could award every single entry.

I had often wondered how one defined a Love Feast. January 2019 POTM Contest is near perfection in that regard. Add the loving relationships and perfection is achieved!

Thank You for the January 2019 POTM Contest Terry and everyone that shared their Love.

Selection, just not prepared to consider.

Sincere thanks to all who entered January’s special contest.

How can we possibly be expected to choose only a single entry, I can’t make a decision like that. I think I’ll put the names in a food dish and let Bingo choose.

Oh man, these are all just heart warming, tear jerking and down right beautiful entries.
So hard to pick just the one from these special FIDs.

I think this month every single one is a winner.

I can’t choose, they’re all just too precious! A worthy tribute indeed to sweet Phoe but as far as actually making a choice is concerned, I think I need to go have a little lie down ...

Terry, I know how heartfelt this particular POTM contest has been for you, and it shows in how fitting a tribute it is for Phoe. Thank you for taking your grief and pain and channeling it into something so beautiful.

And thank you to each and every member who has participated this month. Most months I comment on each entry, but couldn't this time around due to the hectic pace this month has had for me. But please don't think it a reflection on the entries themselves. Quite the opposite, in fact, as I have never been so moved by a POTM as I was this time around.

Lincoln, Romek, Patches, Parker, Penny, Jester, Kise, Cheddar, Jack, Gorgeous George, Skittles, Indi, Poco, Finley, Sunny, Twitch, Squish, Noodles, Clark, Zod, Paris, Sunny, Abby, Bixby, Zeke, Peanut, Rickeybird and dear Phoe... each of you is beautiful, indeed perfect, in your imperfection. And you are loved beyond all measure.

None. My wife has one too many. Kidding!
I just voted. I'm not the most sentimental guy when it comes to birds, and especially not the Rb, but Anansi, I'd like to join you in your thoughts. If I were a better writer, I would have said all that. It really was a beautiful month. Little Phoe was an inspiration. He didn't think anything was wrong with him, and he was right. Terry this was a homerun and a touchdown and a 3-pointer. Well done everybody.

This is beautifully written, and the bolded part took my breath away with how true it was. Thank you so much for that.

Terry, thank you for baring your soul and creating a phenomenal contest in memory of Phoe. Stephen (Anansi) beautifully captured the spirit of community beyond words.

Argh, I just voted. Not to diminish the final tally, but they are all winners!
