Alright! The first photo is my entry. The rest are just for fun. Tried to stick with the POTM theme, but that last picture...I couldn't stop laughing when I saw it again. I just HAD to share the horror movie in the making. (That's her cage and the cage cover, I was wondering how the hole got in there the previous night, then was greeted with this in the morning). Enjoy!

Oh my goodness, thank you, these are all so precious!! That first photo nails the theme so perfectly! And that adorable little sweetie playing "peekaboo" - you've got one smart little cookie on your hands there. My heart is melting! :07:

I love all of these pictures! I love pictures of parrots can never get enough!
Adorable beautiful black cap conure!!!
Can't stand the utterly perfectly captured eye peekaboo!!! That is an awesome, amazing picture!!!!

We often Reach Out and Touch Someone in the task of obtaining or exchanging information.

The following is a reflection of my son’s quest to Reach Out and gain specifications on Meisha’s forward flight control surfaces. At twenty-four flight feathers per wing, each feather unit is unique.

As for the total feather of the airframe, my son has restarted his count again.
I’ll get back to you.

The full lay-out of the Wings is a display in and of themselves! Remember, that the tail feathers are a very important part of the flight frame! And to add just a bit of magic to it all; under the body feathers are fine body hair that ride under the body feathers that provide feed-back as to the air-pressure under and over the body.

The amazement of just how their flight is so very different from what the majority of us believe.

Great photo for this contest!

I feel silly for having to ask, but how do I post pictures on here? I know how to do it on my profile, but the problem I’m having is when I upload a picture, it turns sideways. So I delete it and reupload with a flipped picture and it’s still flipped. I remember having this problem in the past and don’t remember the fix for it. Been a really long time lol. Just wanted to send a few “just for fun” pictures since it’s been so long, and MAYBE make an entry with one. But I’m struggling right now lol

Here's a link on how to post pics on the forum, which will take you to my updated explanation on page 6. post #51: http://www.parrotforums.com/technical-support/6287-how-post-pictures-6.html

Hopefully that helps for next time. But feel free to reach out if you have further questions.

What an awesome collection of pics! And yes, that last one is high comedy!!! I was dying over here!

And one last just for fun, to show off my newest member to the family. They aren't exactly touching physically, but they're together mentally ;)

Love it! Beautiful flock!

I love how completely comfortable Meisha is with your son as well. That's complete trust right there. And such beautiful feathering!

Adorable Tucker, clear image of Ekkie fine feathering on head and shoulder areas. How could you resist that candy-corn beak?!

Surprisingly, she doesn’t seem to mind them. Occasionally I’ll pick a color she doesn’t like and I usually know right away! Of course I respect and appreciate her fashion advice [emoji23]
