New Beginnings
is our theme for this month’s photo contest.
Submissions may include a photo of your bird or birds
doing something new. Choose from a vast variety of first experiences.
First time to enjoy a bath, discover a new food, the first time your bird stepped up, a homecoming, a first encounter with a new friend, etc.
Here are a few examples. Please don’t limit yourself to those mentioned. I’m sure there are lots of firsts I haven’t thought of.














Submissions will be accepted through April 27th, polls will be open from April 28 through April 30th, the winner will be announced May 1st. Only photos will be accepted in this contest, photoshopping will be allowed. Only one submission per member please but you may enter as many Just For Fun photos as you’d like.

The winner will receive a Free Supporting Membership for one full year and the winning photo will be displayed on the front of our homepage throughout the month of May.
Best Of Luck! Enjoy The Contest!

A brand new experience: Kermit’s first outdoor hike! With a cool, crisp breeze gently ruffling his feathers, and iridescent rays of sunlight hitting his back, Kermit soaks up the sights, sounds, and smells of the outdoors. The beginning of hopefully many more outings like this.

Kermit, thank you for being the first to enter this month’s contest.

It’s obvious Kermit is loving his outdoor adventure, precious photo.

A wonderful theme for this month, Allee! There's nothing like watching our birds experiencing something for the first time!

Love this! Absolutely beautiful! Kermit is obviously enjoying his outdoor excursion! So cool, relaxed and at ease about the whole thing...




...unlike Maya was her first time out! Lol! If sheer panic had a face, this would be it! Just for fun!

And here she was after around 15 minutes when it finally hit that she might survive her encounter with the outdoors. Lol!

Darling homecoming photos. The first one surveying his new kingdom, ‘Yes! We can make this work’. And the second, ‘Meeting people is exhausting’. Wonderful entry.

Thank you, SB! I hope everyone has fun with it.

Thank you, Doc! And thank you for posting a couple of my all time fave photos of gorgeous Maya.

Here is Keegan's first oatmeal breakfast when he arrived. It was loved very much,but I tried him on cooked millet and it's the new favorite😀

I love this photo! Discovering a new meal that you know will be a favorite by the expression on their faces. Sweet entry.

I know Rickeybird would never do anything to get himself confined to a crate, he must have posed for the photo to go along with the something new theme, RB in trouble? Never!
