June 2026 POTM Contest

[saxguy6446]

This Month's Theme:

Best Friends

We have a special day on June 8th, that being Best Friends Day!
I thought, what better way to celebrate than a POTM contest
dedicated to our birdie buddies?
I know I'm not the only one who would generally
prefer the company of our birds to most humans!

So, let's see pictures of your feathered besties, doing their thing.
Or, perhaps you have multiple birds that are best friends with each other.
We'd love to see that too!
It's all good, we love them no matter what,
because that's what best friends do!

Besties for life...

Dad, you're gonna do whatever I want, right?
Cuz you love me!
Resistance is futile

Aaaaaand, Baxter...
Need I say more?

The contest will run from now until the morning of June 28th (Eastern USA time) at which time there will be a three day polling period. Winner will be announced the morning of July 1st. The winner will receive a free, one year Supporting Membership to Parrot Forums, a nice little "Parrot of the Month" banner on your profile, and the winning entry will be displayed on the forum homepage for the following month. The winning photo will also be automatically entered into our Photo of the Year Contest for next year!!!

Only one "Official Entry" per person, however, you may submit as many "Just for Fun" entries as you like! Videos and photoshopped images will be allowed, but not required.
Please don't forget to tell us your bird's name in your post.

Good luck everyone!​

Awesome contest theme, @saxguy64! I couldn't help but post this pic of Sludge the purple-crowned lorikeet and Pete the budgie from way back in 2004. They were the bestest, most inseparable and sweetest of little besties

Nameliss playing me a tune before lights out. She does such a wonderful soundtrack of cats fighting, highlighted with dog growling. She's had that bell since she was 4 months old. She actually rings it.

Haven’t decided on a name yet. 11 weeks old in this picture, tomorrow she turns 12 weeks. Doing her best at wing exercises knowing it makes me proud

I know it's almost July and we're in Texas. The temps are approaching the triples. But my human hates A/C. She's always freezing. I'm putting her to good use. Especially since she's trying to sneak and make something with out my help. So now we're practicing for Xmas. Official entry Nameliss.
