January 2023 POTM Contest!

[Terry57]

January's Theme is

These are resolutions your bird has decided on for themselves (or for you!)
for 2023!

Whether it be more treats, more toys, more scritches (or all of these!),
I think it's time for our parrots to have a chance to make some resolutions!
They can be resolutions for what they want to do themselves, or what they want us to do for them.

The contest will run until the morning (MST) of Jan. 29th, and a poll for voting will go up then.
The winner will be announced on Feb. 1st.

The winner will receive a Supporting Membership for a year,
and their photo will be on the forum home page as the winner for the month of January.
The winning entry will also be entered into the Photo of the Year contest held next February.
You also get a nifty banner on your profile that says," Parrot of the Month"!

One official entry per person, but you can add as many Just for Fun entries as you want!

Please make sure to specify which one is your official entry, and remember to follow all Forum rules for safety, etc.

Please include your bird's name somewhere in your post.

Videos are allowed.

Examples:

Justice's resolution is
to steal as many treats as he can while I'm not looking

Talli's resolution is to keep all the toys for himself

Darwin's resolution is for Dad to quit work
so he can always be home

Oh my gosh, what a precious boy! I absolutely adore this picture, I missed the baby years of my Ekkie and this just melted my heart.

With that mischievous look on Zenek's face I bet it will be the latter! But as adorable as he is, that won't matter one bit

He is just precious with the little bit of black still left on his beak. I missed all of that with Ekko as he was 18 months when he joined our flock. I love watching all the young Ekkies grow up

If you tap on the drum I bet Zenek would learn how to make noise with it!

It worked only after the first time - later he started taking it away not letting me touch it because it's his
So, "destroy resolution" is more likely

Awww, looking at Pipp's precious face I can't imagine her ever being a naughty girl
I bet she also gets all the scritches now, only time left is while you're asleep

This is already an awesome thread. I'll bet a common theme here will be "resolve to get more love".

I'm enjoying this month so much so far, and I have an idea you may be right about the common theme here
