December 2024 POTM Contest!

[saxguy64]

At long last...

This Month's Theme:

'Tis The Season... To CELEBRATE!

December is a month of holidays
and celebrations,
and it doesn't matter what you celebrate!
We have PARROTS! That's reason enough, isn't it?

So let's see images of your birds celebrating,
in whatever seasonal way suits you and your family

In my home, we celebrate the Christmas, so here's my guys rocking the spirit:

How ever you celebrate, it's all good, as long as you're having fun with it!
Aaaaaaaand, GO!

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

Our home is multi-cultural. Kabuki (aka “Shmuel” during Jewish holidays) looooves the lighting of the menorah! He is mesmerized by the candles. My job is to make sure he doesn’t catch his tail on fire! It is risky business being a part-Jewish macaw!

Awww, Kabuki is obviously loving it
And I'm loving the entries already. I think it's going to be a great month! Thank you for sharing Kabuki with us

And just for fun (not my official entry), here is a shot of us celebrating Christmas (I am shy; my bird is not). Please note one of many collections of tail feathers on display. 50 years of tail feathers makes for a lot of blue!

Pepper bird loves to sit on Santa's lap and ask him for all kinds of toys, safflower seeds, and lots of kisses for his mommy.

Okay, Saxie, you asked for it. Some of you have seen this photo before.
It's a page from the actual/factual real/deal Rickeybird Scrapbook.
Left to right... Rb, Me, Santa.
I'll be getting coal in my stocking... again... maybe forever.

I was there. I took this picture.
Yep.
Santa and I exchanged agonized, embarrassed gazes. See? Yeah.

Jon, I'm loving your entries so far, wow!

Not only is Shmuel gorgeous, so is your menorah!

Rocky was being introduced to my great grandmother's elf on a shelf while we were decorating. Not to sure who wants to bite who! This is my official entry.

Beautiful portrait of Pip. You are giving my “Shmuel” a run for his Hanukkah gelt.

My parrots are grinches and won’t participate in photos. Blue is actually going through the stockings hanging on our fireplace, and trying to destroy it.

I had to edit this post. Nico had a change of heart and feels that the snow man needs mated with.
