So the best of the best.
As already mentioned it's extremely difficult to choose.

My official entry is Pacho.
She was hands down the most colorful of my flock and sweet to boot.
looking at her face is like looking into a beautiful sunset.

my two runners up are Bingo.
The fine detail of his face and the tiny water droplets that can be seen.

A trio of magnificent choices, Wes. Excellent choice of Pacho, delightful coloration and her sweetness leaps from the monitor!

Gemma will grab a toy, roll onto her back, snatch the toy out of her mouth with her feet and swing her legs back and forth. She’ll keep going until her grip weakens and the toy falls out.
(It’s not the best photo but if Gemma noticed that I had a large camera facing her she would stop and make sure I had no evidence of her in such position)

Gemma is awesome! It sounds like she is also getting her exercise in I love this so much, it really shows her playful personality.

Gabby helping herself to seed - this was not staged as she lifted the lid, perfectly balanced against pellet container. Disclosure: Pic taken 23 years ago, no longer feed seed and Zupreem Fruit blend. Notice beak marks on blue lid!

After having been read her rights by local law enforcement, Gabby was heard to exclaim "It's just one jar, man, I can give this stuff up whenever I want!!"

Good one Scott! Poor Gabby only wanted a 'liddle' bit. It's a good thing she was able to container self.

One reason I use the Mason jar type - Salty has not (so far) figured out how to open those.

Haha! The look on Gabby's face is priceless, like if I don't look at Dad he won't notice.
What a smart girl to have balanced that lid so the noise of it falling wouldn't alert you to what was going on!

Cuddle time with her mommy b4 bed. I picked this one because she just looks so innocent and sweet in spite of her sometimes naughty nippy self

"Two Tiny Roosters"

This is my personal favourite pic of our then purple crowned lorikeet, Sludge, and his ever present budgie mate, Pete, from way back in 2004. They were best little buddies and got up to all sorts of mischief together. Here they are plotting their next round of naughtiness, trying to look all innocent when they realise they're being photographed. They were SO cute together

Haha, I love this pic so much! They tried to look innocent but that gleam in Sludge and Pete's eyes tells the real story. What a beautiful team!

Deeply sentimental pic, Martina. Love the innocence despite Thelma & Louise proclivities!!
