The March POTM Theme is: "In Big Trouble!" As in;

I'm In Big Trouble!
You're In Big Trouble!
We're In Big Trouble!
They're In Big Trouble!
etc...




After all, March is that transitional month from Winter to Spring or Summer to Fall! And many of our Parrots are or will be feeling the surge of emotions, which commonly result in questionable behaviors and activities! Feel free to add a caption, funny or heartfelt..
A huge thanks to SassiBird's Mom for this great suggestion... :)

Green cheek conure - Sydney (Syd) Hatched 2/2017
Ha! Ha! I'm constantly in trouble and dirty looks abound. Today for safety he has had to stay in his cage - or risk getting eaten by my daughter's dog who is spending the day. If looks could kill I should be in a body bag.

Never mind Syd you can rule the roost again after 5pm but in the meantime PLEASE cut me some slack!

I love this month's theme, Steven! And given most parrots' penchant for getting into trouble, the entries will likely be purest hilarity!

This is Sludge the lorikeet and Pete the budgie, and a naughtier pair of co-conspirators you never did see! These two inseparable buddies were Trouble with a Capital "T", but trouble of the cutest kind :)

Sunny a female B&G macaw;
Japie (m) & Appie (f), both are congo african grey;
All are rescues- had to leave their previous homes for 'reasons', are still in contact with them :)
Well, since I do not have a picture (and it would probably be banned anyway)..
I almost got myself into some painfull trouble half an hour ago.

I had al 3 of the parrots with me- saturday and all he time in the world so we had a looooong shower/bathtime.

Sunny decided she was done for the day and to climb on my lap (I am trying to get her comfortable with her new swimmingpool, and it is large enough for the both of us, so I sat down in the water with her and we both splashed about) and was eying for beak-holds to climb a bit higher up to her regular perch ...
and her "grab hold" of choice just happened to be my nipple.
I was just in time to prevent that!

(Pfffeeeeeuw)





Hooray for learning your parrots bodylanguage!

Hmmm, likely correct regarding photos. :D
So very happy that you have your Parrots body language so well understood. (Pfffeeeeeuw), in deed!!!

A conspiracy is obviously afoot! Those are some beautiful trouble makers!

If ever there was a PSA about the urgency of learning your bird's body language, this would be it! Lol!

Great theme, Steven!
Already a wonderful entry, I can't wait to watch this month unfold! Sludge & Pete look like they are planning to start their world domination plan in the cutest way ever:)

Oh, and Christa, thank goodness for your reflexes! Sadly, my reflexes have not been that quick in the past:(

Yes, indeed! Stuffing one's self after a night-on-the-town makes sense. Trouble? What trouble?

Well, Mr. Boats, aka, Steven... this is a POTM for the ages.
There is SO much trouble afoot (awing) here on the Forums that I am sure we're all struggling to contain ourselves.
That picture of Julio is THE PERFECT jump-off!

None. My wife has one too many. Kidding!
This is my entry, in yet another shameless attempt to curry favor with the Missus.
Here is the Bird, accompanied by the Missus, harassing and threatening me via my humble Christian name (Kirby), given to me by my sainted mother, in love and high hopes...................now used as a harbinger of big trouble, day and night.
