[Terry57]

Congratulations YUMgrinder & Sweet Cheddar



January's theme was "Perfectly Imperfect"

"This was cheddar's last day, she was ill her whole short life and even only hours from passing on, she was the most perfect imperfect baby bird I've ever loved."

Congratulations YUMgrinder, and thank you for sharing Cheddar with us.
She will be always remembered, forever loved.





A heartfelt thank you to all the special Parronts who entered their beautiful babies this month. Stephen said it wonderfully:
"Each of you is beautiful, indeed perfect, in your imperfection. And you are loved beyond all measure."

I was robbed!!!!!

Kidding of course. Congrats! Such a wonderful photo.

I was planning on saying this was rigged (for comedy)... but yeah YUMgrinder won AND It is a huge loss to all of us on earth for cheddar passing.

Congratulations, YUMgrinder & Cheddar!!! Beautiful photo and fitting tribute to a bird who will live on in her parront's heart (And ours as well. That pic makes my heart melt).

And an honorable mention to Chris and Parker as well! What a close, photo finish! Wonderful month, and a hearty thanks to all who participated this month!

Oh Terry,

This has indeed been the most emotional and inspirational POTM Contest, since I joined this fabulous community.
You have given all of these amazing feathered friends a platform and spotlight to truly shine. Such a beautiful well thought out tribute.

Well done my friend! :35:

I'm sobbing over here like a baby. :17:

For the next month, I will enjoy opening the PF homepage and see the beautiful photo of sweet little Cheddar. Great way to keep the memory of her! Congratulations, YUMgrinder! This very special Cheddar's photo well deserves this title, that's for sure.

A very emotional POTM this month.
Sweet Cheddar brought a tear to my eye (when I say tear, I sobbed)..

Beautiful tribute to a perfect little, imperfect baby.

Darling Cheddar knew more love in her short life than many ever will. I’m sorry for her circumstances but so glad you were able to share her with us, she is a very special girl indeed.

Congratulations Jason! Cheddar was a treasure, she will always be remembered, thank you for sharing a beautiful Journey.

I have to congratulate Chris and Parker as well, that was a close race.

Indeed, every entry was a winner and a hero in so many ways.

 

[YUMgrinder]

OMG thank you guys so much. It means a lot to me to read this. Sorry I hadn't responded, I was out for awhile. Anyways such a great tribute I couldn't have asked for more. Sometimes I still hear her call when I come home. She always cried out a loud call once she heard the door.

Perry, my black capped conure apparently adopted her call and everyonce in awhile he sounds like cheddar, which both brings memories of her, kind of a bitter sweet feeling. Thank you all.
