Here's my pic for this month :).

Cookie, Crippi and Topee (we will sell Topee once s/he's weaned) looking at the same thing. The phone. (this pic is already in another thread in this forum)

I haven’t been in on the forum recently due to some life stuff going on and being a bit run down/excessively busy, but I couldn’t resist entering the green sirs reaction to my new glasses. Classique amazon eye of “what the flock is going on here”::eek:

EDITED: hope no one minds, but I cropped my original submission photo to put more focus on that beady orange eye;):green:

This is a relatively tame mother duck at Dollywood amusement park in east Tennessee, where I currently work. Watching over her 7 ducklings with a close eye on me while I took their photo from about 3 feet away. And because I could not resist the cuteness, I had to attach a photo of the ducklings sleeping about a week earlier. My how they have grown!

She flung her strawberries everywhere, yelled at the fish, and then proceeded to act all cute so she wouldn’t get in trouble.

You don’t fool me, Lexa! Those are the eyes of a Goddess of Mischief!

P.S. Thanks Scott for telling me how to submit! :p

And another JFF: Jolly showing just how compelling he finds my conversation when he has a full crop. Sigh...

This is the first photo I ever took of gabby. My neighbor had him in an enclosure that had no toys no shelter and no one to remember that he was there and needs food and water. I picked this photo because he passed away on Christmas 2017 due to a fire at his owner house . And he is already forgotten over there but this photo is framed with some of his feathers in my home as a memory.

Eyes on the prize for those three! No surprise pics here!

And what soulful eyes on Bak-Bak!

Kiwi as photogenic as ever! And just as exacting with his inspections! I hope you passed muster?

Yeah, Mama Duck's definitely keeping an eye on you! Lol! It's amazing how quickly little chicks grow from one week to the next!

I just couldn't resist submitting this cheeky photo into the competition.:)

No way! Not sweet lil' Lexa! I don't believe it for an instant!

Hahahahaha! You do have a point, Jim. I did poor Jolly at least as bad as I did Maya!

Fly free, sweet Gabby. That gray-rimmed eye seems the window to a beautiful soul.

I’d almost forgot to enter in this competition as I just couldn’t choose what photo of Sunny best potrays the theme of eyes.
Well I’ve finally made a decision.
One of my favourite photos of Sunny, which I think could be captioned as ;

‘All eyes on me’

Or maybe.. if I look cute enough, will you stoke around my eyes pleaseee?

Just taken this one of Luna in the garden.
She has been watching wild birds, listening to them & even be a little scared by a couple of pigeons
So it was treat time. And she looks so happy in this one that I think this is her official entry this month, not the last one.

Thank you for enlarging (Embedding) her photo Stephen. And yes, she does look like she is looking for affirmation (which she actually does) lol:D
