May 2025 POTM Contest!

[saxguy64]

This Month's Theme...

If You're Happy and You Know it, It's your Bird!!!

Here in the northeastern U.S., May brings us springtime weather, green grass, and leaves on the trees.
FINALLY!
What better reason to be happy? And, as luck would have it, May also brings us National Smile Day, AND, World Laughter Day.
So, I'll borrow a phrase from the late, great, Louis Armstrong, sorta...
When you're smiling, your whole flock smiles with you!

Let's see images of the joys of parronting. Your parrot looking particularly happy, even smiling, (yes, I totally believe they can smile)

or just doing something that makes you smile or laugh. After all, these are the moments we live for when dedicating our lives to these magnificent beings!

That FACE!

That SMILE!

That snuggly goofball...

That fluffy happy "Scratch Me!" head ​

The contest will run from now until the morning of May 29th (Eastern USA time) at which time there will be a three day polling period. Winner will be announced the morning of June 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!​

Ollie is singing to the dishwasher. JFF Sorry it's a terrible video but I didn't want to get closer because I didn't want to disrupt his serenade.

My budgies find my dishwasher fascinating! Here are Rocky. Beau and Tiki doing an inspection of my new dishwasher.

Amazing the places they decide are interesting. My dogs LOVE trying to get to the dishwasher, but only when it's full of dirty dishes. Go figure

Donna, your budgies are gorgeous! Is this an entry photo or just for fun?

Oh Jon, I love your theme, and I totally agree, parrots certainly can and do smile!! Sometimes it's kind of an evil smile though, like the time Lovejoy pooped in the cockatiel's water dish. And he looks so proud of himself too, the little ratbag!!

 

[DonnaBudgie]

He has such pretty, interesting feathers with all the light green tips and dashes.

Crescent always looks happy in photos lol. (All JFF)

Just for fun. My budgies aren't rhe prize winning types.

Don't be silly! You never know who will win here!

 

[DonnaBudgie]

Maybe it's my photography.

Don’t let your birds hear you say that, @DonnaBudgie, may have a mutiny on your hands!!

 

[DonnaBudgie]

I never tell them when they don't win! They're very sensitive like that.
