That entry is just the definition of bliss and contentment! Love it!
And the video was absolute hilarity! You know, I did say 90ish seconds. So if you wanted to make that your entry, feel free. Your choice, as both are pretty amazing.

July 2020 POTM Contest!!!
This month's theme is Thought Captions!
:red:
Ever speculate on what exactly your feathered friend is thinking when they look at you a certain way? Or when they do something they know darn well they shouldn't? Yeah, I do too.
Now you can share those devious, touching, sarcastic, enraged, or downright hilarious thoughts with the rest of our Parrot Forums family! Please submit a photo or short video (90ish sec limit) of your bird doing whatever it is he/she does, with your caption of what they are thinking at that very moment.
Photoshop is allowed, though not required, for this month's contest.
No more than one entry per member, though you are free to post as many related "just for fun" photos as you'd like.
The winner will receive a Free One Year Premium Membership to Parrot Forums, and the winning photo will be displayed on the Home Page for the following month!
Submissions will be accepted from today, July 1st through Wednesday, July 29th. (Dates may vary slightly depending on your local timezone) At the conclusion of the submission period, a 3-day poll will be held to determine the winner.
Good luck, everyone!
JFF!
Bixby: "Soooooo... we're just randomly palming my head, now? That's what we're doing? Really?"
Maya: "Forager's Log. Attempt #3,572. The unusually large almond continues to resist my efforts. It tasks me! It tasks me!"
Maya & Jolly: "Synchronized waving, baby!"
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW INCREDIBLY ENVIOUS I AM OF YOU! I've been wanting an Ekkie for a LOOOONG TIME, just recently able to get one but the baby I was interesting in passed away.

I'm so sorry that baby ekkie passed away before you had the chance to open your home to him/her. I know that can be painful.
I don't know if I ever mentioned it on the open forum, but there was a baby ekkie I was going to bring into my flock a few years back. I was visiting him every day, getting him used to me and being handled while he was in the process of weaning. Then, a few days before I was going to bring him home (I was going to hand-feed him at home, as I felt he wasn't being properly cared for), he aspirated and died. They called to let me know on my birthday.
Tell you what, though. I bet there's an ekkie out there meant for you. Just wait until you find the one who chooses you. There's nothing like it.
