Okay, I'm swept up in the fun... here's an official entry for the Rb.



Before there was a PARROT FORUMS Rickeybird Scrapbook, there was an old-school hard copy scrapbook, dating back to 1984.

I believe this is the oldest photo of him. He barely had his "big-boy" feathers, with short tail and stubby wings. Those beady little eyes haven't changed a bit... okay, neither have mine.

Decades later, he and I found the Parrot Forums, and the Scrapbook found an online home.
Thanks for the great contest, Marty!

Oh my, how completely awesome, thank you SO MUCH for gracing my humble contest with an Official Entry!! Splendid, splendid!! I take it that Figure B is the "official" pic, yes? I could be wrong about that, I am a bit slow!

And you're right, neither of you have changed one bit, you are both every bit as gorgeous as ever. I'm so glad you found PF, and oh my word how lucky are all of us to have found you? :smile015:

Thanks for the great contest, Marty!

Rb's scrapbook has distinctly 80s vibe. Love it and the timeless pic of you together!

Thanks, my loves. Yes, Martina, the second photo is the entry.
From the days when dinosaurs and baby Rickeybirds roamed the Earth.
I appreciate all the great gnarly 80s vibes, fer sure. It seems like only yesterday that the Rb and I started our journey. I only wish we had found our online 'family' sooner, but... better late than never.
