All of these are wonderful, and the first one is the perfect entry!
The Gif would be acceptable and is awesome as well, but I also can't get it to embed. It can still be entered but may put you at a disadvantage if it is only a link.
Stephen mentioned in a later post uploading it to Youtube...that would work if it is possible!

I'll stick with the first one, I don't want to have to make people click on a link. I've tried uploading my Jacob videos to YouTube but it doesn't work, that's why I got it on Imgur and even then I got lucky as only that one video worked and I can't seem to get any others to upload.

As for my official entry Casper223 helped me by adding the caption directly onto the picture and is so much cuter that way, the caption was altered a bit to make it sound more like a baby bird saying it, so it makes more sense.:blue1:
So here is my actual official entry:

Just for fun.....

I'm glad I don't have to compete with that, this one already looks like a winner. As for my entry, I am having a hard time choosing only one but i'll get there.

Edit: I have it down to 3 pictures, once I figure out which one I choose, I will post the rest as just for fun pics

Love this!! :heart:

She's baaaaaaack!

HRH Crown Princess Lilly Pilly has regathered herself and has chosen to bestow Her glorious magnanimous beneficence upon those who so terribly disappointed Her last month (i.e. me!), and after giving me a thorough buttfeathering for my incompetence, She has authorised me to release this Official Portrait for the June comp.

Looks like Her Maj has some pretty stiff competition again this month, but here goes nuthin' ...

Aww, she is just so cute. She came close to winning last month, I think this month she will redeem herself and win it this time, that is just such an adorable picture. I like the caption as game of thrones was probably the best show that's ever aired and she gets bored and sleep through it. If I know birds that would be because she doesn't get as much attention while you watch the show and when it ends she gets all her attention back. :) My macaw pretty much distracts me from at least 50% of my shows while he's on me. He's constantly giving kisses and asking to shake a paw or dancing for me.

There is cuteness overload in this picture of Adorable Lilly Pilly!
Not a fan of GOT, huh? Her feets are precious.

It's a budgie thing.... You wouldn't understand!

What a great picture of your babies! They look so beautiful sitting together like that, I love it! I added in the large picture to make it more visible:)
What are their names?

Let's see if I can get them in order, left to right. Diamond, Fuzzburt, Smidge, Cooper and Creek. Anyone notice a trend here? :09: and thank you for the compliment, and fixing my picture, I'm not very tech savy!

Well Valyndris is partially right, HRH is not a fan of GOT, but mainly because there’s only room for one Royal Personage in our house and that is Herself - She has no time for those pretenders on the telly!

Man I want to say what I would have captioned that one, but I don't want to come across the wrong way. It is 100% innocent and I mean absolutely no disrespect, when I saw that picture the only thing that came to mind was, restin' with sasquatch!

This is what Callum does when I play Overwatch. (Does anyone still play that game? I think he's seen a Widowmaker highlight intro one too many times).

[Sorry for not putting the photo correctly, I'm still figuring out how to add pictures :p]
