December 2021 POTM Contest!!!

[Laurasea]

Just for fun
Pikachu asking for head scrstch, by showing what she wants. Of course I gave her a head scratches

 

[Scott]

Ta-dah does not like hands coming from above her head! The first one is her looking for a place to bite. The second is her mad face, and the 3rd is showing mad face and mad crouched body language View attachment 33090View attachment 33091View attachment 33092
Ok I staged that, because I know what makes her mad!
Then I made up and gave her cuddling to show she is really a sweet girl! Look how her expression changes@ taken just a few seconds apart, first I had to tell her sorry.

Look at that sweet face! All forgiveness. The crouched down was in this one w as cuz I was petting face. If you compare with mad crouch, you will see she is back on hocks ready for lunge. Back of neck feathers are raised, beak Slightly open ready for bites, eyes pointed. In happy crouch leaning forward into hand, feathers smooth, beak more closed, relaxed eyes
Official is the second picture mad face!

Yay Laura and Ta-dah! Grumpiness without the chomp!!

Well, Willow’s official pic is the spiky hair photo.
That is one cute yellow Quaker. Yes, the “awkward head scratch while staring at you” is a good way to get one’s head scratched, just like beak-smacking noises can get a bird a treat.

I surely wouldn't be able to resist those adorable beady eyes!!!

 

[Laurasea]

Ahhh she is a sweetheart. I can't resist her beedy eyes. She was totally like human do this! Scratch here!! She probably thinking poor humans you have to show them how to do everything!

 

[Moon-And-Silvia]

This is my first time doing this, but I just need to find my birds in a grumpy mood.. like just when they wake up for before I put them to bed

Or maybe I should just take a picture of Silvia when I get home from school tomorrow
She is the definition of grumpy.

He's too cute to be true!
...And I honestly can't tell if he's happy or grumpy. I'm guessing happy, because how could a budgie that sweet ever be grumpy?

Her beak is pink!

I made Arno shower, and after I dried him off and put him in his bed, he refused to turn my direction! He never faces that way!

That's the hind end of grumpiness!

May I offer a gentle suggestion, please consider it from the heart! Sleeping huts often a hazard when parrots chew and swallow threads. Begins insidiously until significant material ingested causing serious harm or worse. Huts also potential trigger for unwanted hormonal activity. If still desired in cage, inspect daily for safety!!

 

[Laurasea]

Its the little fuzz that's dangerous, as are the chewing on a rope perches.
Conures really seem to enjoy ( need?) Them, try non or the less fuzzy types. B
put something like a yucca chip they can reach while in this cuts down chewing on bad stuff.

One of my quakers chews rope perches while caged, so I had to switch all the perches to non rope in her cage. Out of the Cage she leaves rope perches alone.

Ta-dah is definitely a girl who knows what she likes... Or doesn't! I honestly love how opinionated our birds can be, and how they go about telling us. It's what makes them special individuals.
