Meisha's a popular bird, hereabouts. She's got to keep her manicure game tight! Lol! And your disclaimer had me dying over here! Hilarity!

Here is our entry for Feb.

Oh! You guys meant "touch" someone, not grab someone!

When all that bite pressure training pays off! Salty looks like he's having a ball using you as his jungle gym.

Can we disregard blurry corpse eyes and go with this one instead?

We darn sure can, Chris! After seeing that death gaze from the first pic, not a one of us is trying to cross you! If looks could kill for real!!! Hahahahaha!

But what a tender moment captured in the second pic. Nice!

If only my birds were as welcoming at manicure time! They'd reach out with firm beak grip aka bite!!

That's a benign reach-out and touch, Amazon style!

Absolutely Chris, we'll consider this stunning reach-out as official entry. I took the liberty of noting your previous as "JFF," but you can always change your mind or add another until contest closes!

Awesome entries so far! It is looking like another tough month of having to choose ONE winner!


If the theme were 'Reach out and DESTROY something' I'd have heaps of entry photos for Ellie. Here's one JFF.

Boy do I have the perfect photo for this one! The moment before first contact�� Look at the body language of those 2 as Cas reaches out to touch Kiwi.

I know not everyone can see the videos for some reason, but here’s the accompanying just for fun video for those who can see them. We were both right there to prevent any major incidents but boy did Cas beeline it for poor Kiwi. We’re going to wait a while longer before any further “introductions”

Perfect indeed, April! Two persons reaching out to touch!!

Lovely video as well, for some reason the link is not apparent in body of post. Link appeared when I quoted for comment, easily copied/pasted to another window. Well worth watching!!

Very cute video! You can see the sparkle in Cas' eyes, and the apprehension in Kiwi's.

Ellie does have to reach out and touch in order to destroy, so bring on the heaps! She is so beautiful! And looking oh-so-mischievous, here!

What an awesome moment frozen in time! So delicate and deliberate with the preening! And the colors! Straight sunshine!

Perfection indeed, April! Look at how much Was has grown! Wow! And I'm heartened by his obvious love for and fascination with Kiwi, as well as Kiwi's patience and understanding with his grasping hands. Obviously an environment where both are made to feel relatively comfortable with each other. Nice!

Mello is saying you can snuggle for hours and hours!!

I rotated and enlarged your image. Simply enlarging is easy - right click on image properties, copy. Open yellow picture window, (bottom row of control panel above text box, below and to right of smiley menu) paste url into open box, click "OK" prompt. Rotating is a bit more complex, had to momentarily "save" to my PC and rotated using Microsoft Office Picture Manager. Then uploaded to your attachment manager.
