Biggie is the perfect pterodactyl! I think your pictures are wonderful:)


This made me laugh! Salty certainly does look cute, and I see a gleam in his eye that reveals his inner raptor.

Jacob the blue and gold macaw
I totally forgot I used to draw macaw/dinosaur hybrids, here are some pictures of my macaw Jacob depicted as a dinosaur or dinobird hybrid.

T-Rex with blue and gold macaw colors, looks very silly and clowny:

blue and gold raptor bird hybrid:

Not even sure what to call this one:

And here is another one of my blue and gold T-Rex trying to eat the camera just for fun:

Awesome sketches! You've captured the essence of the B&G as dinos!! Each image has different personality and level of threat. Nicely done!!

None. My wife has one too many. Kidding!
This contest is the home of a thousand belly laughs already and it is only the first week. I pulled together a couple of snippets right here to give y'all "T. Rix" for my entry. Smile, Bird, smile.

Haha, I love it, T-Rix, I'm sure your parrot and mine are a lot alike I call my blue and gold a T-Rex all the time, if you saw my entry we both got some scary T-Rexes. :)

These entries are over the top! Salty’s alter ego would make anyone smile.

Valyndris, your sketches are fantastic, better than anything I came across while researching for the contest and some of those were done by highly skilled hands.

I would not want to cross paths with the T-Rix while he’s channeling his inner dinosaur. Excellent entry from the Rickeybird.

Blue was my favorite Jurassic Park character, loved that guy! Great comparison pics, who knew African Greys and velociraptors had so much in common? Tami, that photo of Levi is breathtaking!

Come on folks, the month is half over, we need more entries!

Jacob the blue and gold macaw
Just for fun because it's a video, Jacob was all excited and when he's excited he's a T-Rex. I needed to squeeze by near him to open the window. What you don't see is how small of a path it is to the window as there is a chair there with a plexi glass beside it so Jacob doesn't jump on the chair.

Thank you for posting Jacob’s hilarious video! Glad you survived, your T-Rex was stalking you pretty aggressively. Still laughing at Jacob, from a great distance of course!

Your lovely photography is always welcome, Tami!

I got Jacob a T-Rex toy and I am changing my official entry to this picture, I call it T-rex vs T-rex.
