Just for fun:

Jacob's first time meeting another macaw other than his parents and siblings when he was born. Her name is Simon, yes it is indeed a Simon that is also a she. She was never sexed and laid an egg at around 20 years old. Jacob enjoyed his time with her. Simon is on the left and Jacob is on the right, as you can see Jacob was just a youngling.

Beautiful Simon vs Simon! Love the pose on separate stools!

Levi’s gingerly first attempt to try out his new and cool purple Hoot N Holler toy.

​

Was Levi gentle, did the toy survive?

 

[Tami2]

Yes and still is. For some reason he is very cautious with this toy. I haven't figured out why? It is such a cool toy.

Gemma just realising that the new year has come, she looks back at the past. I have lots of new tricks for her to learn and... fix, a few of them have gone a bit sloppy. Sometimes she doesn’t understand what I am trying to cue her or she just doesn’t do it right! Well this is the time to perfect things and start the new year right.

Gonzo casting daggers of rage at the mysterious pellets invading his food dish. This was during his conversion to Harrison's from Zupreem and seed. Change was successful within two weeks!​

It looks exactly like he is saying " WTH are those things????"

Isn't this just like any human kid? New toys and goodies, and they go right for the bag or box! Foolish girl Official entry.

Not sure why it's sideways. Tried to rotate it, and still posted sideways. Hmmm. Perhaps one of the nice Mods can help me out with that?

Just for fun: Checking out the new digs with previously mentioned new toys. My kids got me the new cage for Baxter for Christmas. I was worried she might be a little intimidated by it, but NO! She climbed right in as soon as I put it together and washed it down. Still working on new perches and toys to fill it up, it's enormous! My girl is SOOOOOO HAPPY.

Hi Jim

It is a toy from one of our Supporting Vendors - http://www.parrotforums.com/hoot-n-holler-bird-toys/83623-exciting-news-new-website.html

She makes well-made gorgeous toys.

Scott, this is hilarious! That facial expression is priceless! I can almost hear him: "Oh, no he DIDN'T!"

Just for FUN~ ^_^



Kise's feeling: New Year??? Mom is buying a new Condo and will be moving soon... She told me that it's very nice and have sunlight for me to see the outside while she is at work. I have not get to see the new place yet. So... I am waiting...........

​

Look at sweet Kise! Beautiful as always! And congratulations on your new home! I hope Her Majesty approves!

Jacob was just a youngling, but he already had game! Check him out laying down the charm! Most impressive, Sir Jacob!

*~ JUST for FUN ~*

Ha! my man Jacob had game right out the box, huh? Look at that sweet talker in action! Most impressive!

Levi takes better care of his toys than my kids do! I'm sending them over for tips.

And his plumage is flawless!

Loving Gemma's moment of introspection, here. Looking at the girl in the mirror. The New Year is just the right time for fresh starts.

Hahahahaha! took care of the rotation issue with both pics, my friend. No worries! And yes! That is something kids and parrots definitely share in common! Toys? Goodies? Pfft! Gimme the box, bag and wrapping! I love it!

Lucky Baxter! That cage is huge! Talk about an upgrade! Of course she wanted right in!

That's not a mansion that's a castle!

So many inspirational entries. I finally found one that I hope can stand up. From the Bird's latest Youtube selections.......................
I give you the Bird's 2020 resolutions, as channeled by my gullible
clairvoyant/conurevoyant missus.
NO, I don't believe him. Do you?

Thanks, Scott, my brother, for another opportunity to expose my long-suffering marital persecution.

"I, the RB, will BE QUIETER and not wake you up with bell! HAPPY 2020! Believe me, right?" - YouTube

Hilarious and a bit eerie. Dim lighting, bell ringing, and Rb's maniacal shrieks evoke an ancient Druid sacrificial ritual. Watch your back, Kirby!

 

[LaManuka]

Ask not for whom the bell tolls Rival, it tolls for thee!!

 

[GaleriaGila]

I BELIEVE HIM!

All these darling birds... trying their best just to get along in a big human-centric bell-tolling hoot-hollerin' world ...
Thank you, Scott, for a chance to cheer them all on in a brave new 2020! You're rockin' the POTM as usual!
