July 2020 POTM Contest!!!


This month's theme is Thought Captions!

:red::blue1::rainbow1:

Ever speculate on what exactly your feathered friend is thinking when they look at you a certain way? Or when they do something they know darn well they shouldn't? Yeah, I do too.

Now you can share those devious, touching, sarcastic, enraged, or downright hilarious thoughts with the rest of our Parrot Forums family! Please submit a photo or short video (90ish sec limit) of your bird doing whatever it is he/she does, with your caption of what they are thinking at that very moment.

:yellow1:

Photoshop is allowed, though not required, for this month's contest.

No more than one entry per member, though you are free to post as many related "just for fun" photos as you'd like.

The winner will receive a Free One Year Premium Membership to Parrot Forums, and the winning photo will be displayed on the Home Page for the following month!

Submissions will be accepted from today, July 1st through Wednesday, July 29th. (Dates may vary slightly depending on your local timezone) At the conclusion of the submission period, a 3-day poll will be held to determine the winner.

Good luck, everyone!

:grey::blue::gcc:

JFF!


Bixby: "Soooooo... we're just randomly palming my head, now? That's what we're doing? Really?"

Maya: "Forager's Log. Attempt #3,572. The unusually large almond continues to resist my efforts. It tasks me! It tasks me!"

Maya & Jolly: "Synchronized waving, baby!"

There's power in a prediction made on one's birthday, so I'm anticipating eagerly!

Then my work here is done. Hahahahaha!

Smiles made and coffee sprayed. My motives for doing POTM contests in a nutshell!

Thank you, Terr! And no worries, mama. You've done the same for me whenever I've needed it, so it was just an opportunity to have your back in the way you always have mine.

Big shoes to fill, though... figuratively speaking, of course. At all of 5'1 and a half inches, I imagine your literal shoe size is more on the diminutive side. But I digress...

Haha! Says the man with the most entries in a POTM contest!
Thank you for the laugh at you including the 1/2! Sadly, my feet are not diminutive, they are short and wide and resemble swim fins.

Terrific theme for the month Stephen! Your captioning of Jolly’s pic is the PERFECT reflection of the look on his face :)

I can’t wait to see the fun, quirky and creative entries that will follow!

Hahahahaha! Wow, that was a close one! Kise was definitely eyeing the closest doll's neck!

Inspired theme, Stephen!! Going to be much fun ascribing words to our quirky and visually expressive fids!!

Thanks, brother! I'm anticipating lots of fun entries!

Great contest idea! i have so many ideas on what i can do- happy canada day btw.

Looking forward to your entry! And Happy Canada Day to you, too!

(Terry, you're supposed to be my insider on all things Canadian! Why am I only now hearing of this? You've obviously neglected my tutoring!)

Aw, thank you, Martina! Though that first pic is actually Bixby. Poor guy was incredibly tolerant of my nonsense. See? You can almost hear his sigh in this pic...

She looked like she had just finished eating another macaw LOL

Great theme my friend! I feel like ekkies May have an edge in the thought and daydreaming department.

With ekkies, there are always two thought bubbles at once:

“ [insert empty though bubble here cause male ekkies can be so dunderheaded]”

“...Sex....”

It's so darn creative lol what pikachu does is when i tell him to go down the stairs (he does it lol) he goes to the place under the railing and eats the corner of the wall. :) Fids are so smart yet not at the same time!
