For those of us in the good ol' USA, November brings us... Thanksgiving.
I thought I'd use that in a slightly different way.

We all know about the big, traditional Thanksgiving dinner,
where we inevitably eat waaaay too much. So, with that in mind,

This month's theme is...

Gluttony!

Let's see your birds indulging, enjoying, or plain old pigging out on their favorite foods!
The messier, the better, don't you think?


When Avery first got here, he had never had veggies.
He figured them out fast!

YUMMMMMMMM!

Jon you've knocked it out of the park again!! I love this theme and I can't wait to see all those happy messy gluttonous beaks!! 😍
 
Ooo I love this!
Here's a quick JFF from this morning (Jasper branching out from walmnust):

OFFICIAL ENTRY:

Gluttony, thy name is Peachie!! She has set new benchmarks for voraciousness ever since she got here!! From Day One she has eaten EVERYTHING I put in front of her, from pellets to seeds to fruit and veg, whether familiar to her or not. Even when she was sick with psittacosis her appetite never waned, and her weight increased almost every time she went back to the vet for an antibiotic injection every week for six weeks! Honestly I've never had a bird who eats like she does, and her latest fave is blackberries which lends itself to some fairly gory looking mess on that beak, as well as some rather interestingly coloured poop! So therefore I present Princess "Miss Gluttony 2023" Peachie as my official entry, and Lord help me if I ever have to put her on a diet cos she'd scream my house down!!!

Foxxy, Jasper looks like he's totally loving it! The look on his face!.... "You WILL submit to my superior beaky strength, banana man, or I'll eat you alive! Okay, I'll eat you alive anyway" 🤣

Awwww Peachie, you really are the cutest little glutton, aren't you? 😍 If those blackberries weren't right there, I think I'd be afraid she was gonna eat ME! Eeeeeek! 😱

I think it may be Lovejoy who is in the most danger of Peachie eating him alive! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 That may explain her eating habits though, it sure would sharpen up a girlie bird's appetite having to keep up with such a handsome rooster ;) 💘 😍

At least Peachie's always happy to share ... 💖

This is a good contest! So Ruby’s coming in! Never mind the background she made a mess :) ;) She finally figured out what was in the cup! Coffee! I took her away immediately, but she seems to make a habit out of it now…… I can’t even drink my coffee in peace…..
Here she comes…. Dun dun dun!

And I thought my budgie Rocky would eat ANYTHING (yesterday she snuck a piece of ham)! I love your Sunnie's adventurous appetite! Is that rare beef? What a glutton!
It was a bit of med/rare steak he stole from me...he would literally yell at me if I didn't let him try whatever I was eating
