I've been using Fb lately Hannah, it's the only reason I signed up to them!

A cockatiel, a bourke, and three budgies
Here are some just for fun photos.
The one of Elvis and Skittles is a favorite of mine. I also really like Tyler and Mango, Mango had a soft spot for budgies.
I also added my cat Dexter.

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.

Oh, I really hope it is just a rough molt & that he gets past it soon. I know that growl well, and it is definitely loud.

Great contest theme! i only have one bird- i can't decide if i should take a picture of him/her with me, or the fish!

Thank you! Multiple pics would be awesome, one entry and more just for fun!

What a lovely theme to wake up to this morning, beautiful job Terry :)

Thank you Mart and I agree that this pic should be an entry!​

***Just for fun***
Friendship, left to right: Big Bird, (Moluccan) Peanut, (Goffins) and Gandalf (Citron) Bittersweet as Big Bird and Gandalf have passed on.

Scott, what a beautiful and touching picture of Big Bird, Peanut & Gandalf. Definitely bittersweet but a perfect representation of their wonderful friendship.

Just for fun, me and my baby girl, Sasha. Probably my favorite photo of us[emoji3059]

Such a great theme this month! I'm sure they'll be a lot of adorable entries!

And here's mine: Vixen letting me scritch her for the first time

Thank you! I love this picture, Vixen looks so relaxed and absolutely enjoying the scritches! I have no doubt that it is the first of many scritches now that she realizes how awesome scritches are!

Hannah, this picture is fantastic! It looks like Percy and Gizmo have already become fast friends, and is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

I was able to get your picture to show, I know some others were also having issues with Imgur. If you still have room in your album here on the forum you can also use that for posting pictures.

Awww, these are all so precious!

The way that Elvis is looking at Skittles is adorable. Your second picture of your beautiful tiels warms my heart, I think their pose resembles a heart!
Tyler and Mango look like they were both enjoying the cuddles with each other. The next picture with your tiel and conure is also sweet, what beauties they are.
And Dexter is really pretty, he is the definition of contentment in this picture.

HI Gizmo! BB has the same type "box" as his uncle David calls it. Every night before bed as I cover his house he goes in his box bangs around having a bedtime snack..I still find pellet dust round the OUTSIDE of his house :confused: Love the box..I got it when I had Jonesy the Goffin. Before the box I could find his food on the other side of the room:mad:

They sure did become friends quickly, I’m very pleased. I haven’t introduced him on the forum yet, But I will do soon. Percy is much happier with a buddy.

Thank you so much for helping get my photo to show. I tried uploading into my Album but the button where you ‘select file’ wasn’t working, I refreshed the page so many times!

Ha ha, yes Percy was doing the same, I would find his food everywhere! I love the box (Seedmate). However since I’ve had Gizmo, Giz always finds a way of making a huge mess with everything else in their cage. I’m back to sweeping around the cage a few times a day lol.
Gizmo also likes to use it as his ‘singing box’.. he goes in there to sing and it echos :p


Cuties!!! What is the plastic thing they're sitting in?

It’s called a ‘SeedMate’. It helps reduce the mess with pellets/seed :)

My pleasure! Gizmo is precious, and I'm so glad Percy has a new friend. Thank you for informally introducing Gizmo on the POTM!

I'm so sorry you were having issues with uploading here, I hope it was just a glitch. Please let me know if the issue continues so I can have it looked into.
