A photo I luckily captured before a strike with a very sharp beak…This Month's Theme...View attachment 29310
"Words Unspoken"
Inspired by the first Sunday of August being National Psychic Day, let's explore the non-verbal communication our birds show us. The looks they give you when they know what you're about to do, or their reaction when they know what's on your mind. (Some of us might also call this... BODY LANGUAGE)
It's all part of that psychic connection we have with them. This is the month to celebrate just how tuned in our feathered babies truly are!
"Seriously Dad, you're taking my picture like THIS!??? It's embarrassing!"
"Look at me, I'm Freeeeeeee!!!"
"You WILL submit to my superior intellect!"
"Ummmmm, a little privacy please..."
"I love you Daddy"
The contest will run from now until the morning of August 29th (Eastern USA time) at which time there will be a three day polling period. Winner will be announced the morning of September 1st. The winner will receive a free, one year Premium Membership to Parrot Forums, and the winning entry will be displayed on the forum homepage for the following month.
Only one "Official Entry" per person, however, you may submit as many "Just for Fun" entries as you like! Photoshopped images will be allowed, but not required.
Good luck everyone!

Hmmmmmmmmm, seems your little one may have been communicating telepathically with my Lilly Pilly! Very much birds of a feather, I would say!

Trying to take a photo of Bubbles out of the cage and getting her mouth on the iPad instead. There’s nothing she won’t bite!
I think I’m gonna have to retake this one

At least she sat still for this one
If you want to talk to Kiwi so much then go back in the cage… and exactly what happened to the rest of the solar Ed power flower…? I think I have a main suspect…

Me trying to clean the cage. Kiwi: I’m Spiderbird! Bubbles: If I stay outside of the cage for long enough, my hooman slave will bring the flaxseed stick to bring me in….

Ahhh yes, the unspoken language when training their humans. They're sooooo good at that! Thank you!
My heart has been stolen, like... 20 times already this month!
I'm callin' the heart-cops.
