December POTM '17

[Violet_Diva]

JUST FOR FUN:

Tissue is the gift that keeps on giving!



Cleans up the poop off the floor. . .
Wipes off the food splatters. . .
Mops up the blood from bites. . .
And is also a great form of cheap entertainment. . . well - at least Bella thinks so!

This is Curry. Just last night I turned my back for 5 minutes and Curry flew on top of my refrigerator to go ahead and eat a banana. I walked out into the kitchen to seeing Curry biting through the peel and eating the banana. Curry constantly gives me the gift of laughter in my life and I do not know what I would do without Curry.

Look at those eyes pinning in absolute delight at the newly discovered loot! Hilarity!

My birds give us unending laughter. They're constantly up to something. If you're ever in a bad mood, all you have to do is go sit in the bird room. It won't be long until the belly laughs arrive.

So true! Birdy antics never cease to entertain! And your guys look especially busy and inquisitive. They'd probably get along well with Curry!

This one's just for fun.

I call this picture
"WORSE THAN A LUMP OF COAL"
This was already in my figurative Christmas stocking when I married the Missus on Christmas Eve many moons ago.
The gift that kept giving.... year..... after year.............after yeeeeeeeear...............
Thanks, honey. Thanks, Bird.

Oh, high comedy! I laughed out loud reading this one! Hilarity, Rival! Hilarity! I'm sure Abigail is giving you the side eye after that one!

Here's Flower with a little twinkle in the background.

I'm thankful for the gift of sincerity my three show in their expressions. They let me know EXACTLY how they are feeling. They have no hidden agenda. When they are being sweet, they are being genuine. That level of trustworthiness is hard to find elsewhere!

I know just what you mean, Don. There is such unbridled honesty to all that they do, isn't there? I think that's part of the reason there are so many miscommunications between people and birds. Once you learn to read what they're "saying", you come to realize they always say what they mean and mean what they say.

Flower is looking beautiful.

Hahaha! I love it! And yes, who with a parrot isn't ready to sing an ode to the merits of tissue! That Bella's full of mischief! (Notice how the visible bit of that blue cup looks like a halo over her head? Accidental positioning of her head? I think not! She's a crafty one!)

My tiel shopping for xmas

She loves gifts!

Hahaha! Hilarity! But I agree with Terry, you're going to have to get a bigger cart. Your 'tiel is just getting started!

The picture might not be as sharp as you'd like, but I think the quality of that scene more than makes up for it. Xander's character definitely shines through!

OMG, that looks like some sort of medieval torture device!

I particularly love how it looks RB is utterly gleeful, like he's reaching for the most expensive jewellery, or the most delicate, beaded material - with the complete intention of tearing it all to shreds.

"Yes! That's MINE! Give it to meee!"

Ollie is the light of my life! He is constantly making me laugh and giving me joy, he is truly a gift from the stars. I love him to the moon and back and back to the moon, In this video Ollie gets told "no" and to me it is a gift when a parrot actually understands you and listens to you and more importantly stops doing what you have asked him to stop doing. I am so lucky Ollie usually listens to me and does as he is told but as you can see he isn't always happy about it! haha

[Frozengirl]

Haha did he say yogurt at the end?

 

[Sunnyclover]

I wish but unfortunately he doesn't say any words at all. Not really a talker but he makes up for it with personally!

All my birds together, because I couldn’t possibly choose just one.
Ducky gives me the gift of cuteness - I can’t help but say “awww” when he bows his little head down for scritches!
Bluebell gives me the gift of beauty - her almost iridescent blue feathers are really something to marvel at.
Kermit gives me the gift of playfulness - you can’t not look at him when he hangs upside down from his playstand and chews up his toys.
But all my birds give me the amazing gift of joy - every single day.

 

[Sunnyclover]

That play guy is a winner...all the cool birds have it.

I just have to say... what an amazing cage setup you have for Alsing! Wow! Just... wow! And he obviously enjoys every square inch of it!

I'm glad you weren't able to choose "just one", so that we got treated to a group shot of your beautiful flock! And what an amazing array of gifts they've given you!
