August's POTM Theme is "Friendship"




In honour of Friendship Day, let's celebrate the friendship we share with our birds, or their friendship with each other. Show us the love!



The contest will run until the morning (MST) of August 29th, and a poll for voting will go up then. The winner will be announced on September 1.

The winner will receive a Supporting Membership for a year,
and their photo will be on the forum home page for the month of September.
One official entry per person, but you can add as many Just for Fun entries as you want!
Please make sure to specify which one is your official entry, and remember to follow all forum rules for safety, etc.



Examples:


Darwin reaching out a foot in friendship to her Dad.

Talli & Slater are best friends. They spend all their time out together preening and cuddling with each other.

I could not leave out Phoe and Jax as an example of friendship. They absolutely adored each other.

Those multi-bird households may have a slight edge, but friends is a fairly wide concept! Going to be another great month!

Nobody has an edge over your friendship with Julio! I love the picture you posted before of you and him together, it shows true love and devotion on both sides:)

Yes, he does have the ability to shatter that Single Human Thing! But his girl friend does have a slight advantage... :D. I'll have to dig that photo out...

Could have gone with a group photo, but I chose this one.

A perfect choice, I love the way that Squiggles and Arctic are cuddling next to each other. Absolutely adorable!

I don’t really have any quality photos of Parker to fit this theme unfortunately :(. Especially since he’s been on our sh*t lists lately. I might do a for fun with a dog or two though!

I love both these pictures! The first one is so filled with love and the second is so cool! Love the special effects, WOW!

That works! I'm looking forward to it. I was so hoping Parker was out of his recent moods, I'm so sorry that isn't the case, my Friend.

This is different. The hormonal stuff is over. He’s just less well behaved in cage lately. Lots of growling - his growls are as loud as screams. And he’ll growl at anything right now, something as simple as us standing up from the couch and going somewhere. Hoping is molting mood, but not sure.
