June POTM Contest

[Allee]

​

The theme for the month of June is, "Summertime Blues"! Your bird does not need to be blue to enter, we love birds of all colors! Just pick any favorite photo of your bird and post a song dedication from you to your feathered friend. Photos may be photoshopped but it isn't necessary to enter the contest.

The contest will accept entries from June 1st through June 27th, polls will open June 28th and the winner will be announced July 1st.

The winner of the contest will receive a Supporting Membership for one year and the winning photo will be on the homepage for the month of July.

Every bird who enters a favorite photo will also have a special song dedicated by a favorite human as a souvenir from the contest.

"Just For Fun" photos are always welcome but please remember to designate the one photo you wish to enter in the contest. Best of luck!

Here's some examples.

Song by Van Morrison

Harry

Send In The Clowns

[Kiwibird]

Sooooooo many songs to describe Kiwi's antics yet none I can yet think of that would be forum friendly

 

[BirdSquawk]

Jack looking melancholy
Song is Northern Downpour by Panic! at the Disco, I love sitting with him in the afternoon and listening to slow music like this (he ignores me and my love ballads and naps instead.)

***Just for fun***



I'm torn on the song. On one hand, what song better for one who feels she rules the world than...
[ame="https://youtu.be/VBmMU_iwe6U"]Beyoncé - Run the World (Girls) - YouTube[/ame]

But then, for one so confident in the beauty of her plumage, red, blue and... PURPLE, perhaps a little Prince would be more fitting.

Either is appropriate for such a DIVA, I'd say. Lol!

 

[ParrotLover2001]

Actually, this one will be my official entry, something that isn't my cockatiel for once.

This is focused on Chrissy, song to go with it is one of my favorites (and a favorite among my flock) Can't help falling in love by Elvis Presley.

Eve of Destruction

NOT a Political statement.
This is a statement on the destructiveness of parrots.

Here's my hopelessly cheesey (BLUE CHEESE!!!) tribute to the Rickeybird.

When I got him in 1984 (Rb's hatch-year), Elton John released "I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues".
My favorite lyrics...
"And while I'm away
Dust out the demons inside
And it won't be long before you and me run
To the place in our hearts where we hide."

My demonic little soul-mate...

So say we both. See?


GREAT THREAD! LOOK HOW WE'RE ALL GUSHING! I LOVE IT!

Here's the saddest looking photo I have of Boomer. I'll go with the song I used in a video I dedicated to him a few years ago. I think it's melancholy enough to fit this month's theme and sums up how I feel about the little guy.

God Only Knows

I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it
God only knows what I'd be without you

If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would livin' do me
God only knows what I'd be without you

(song by The Beach Boys, covered by MonaLisaTwins)
