March POTM Contest!


*****


This month's theme is Look at what I can do!

*****

And this time, we're looking for VIDEO submissions! Please submit a video of your bird(s) simply doing what they do. This includes tricks, flight, acrobatics, talking, singing, yelling, merry mischief making, or just being darn cute. The sky's the limit, folks!

*****

Let's try to keep the video lengths anywhere from a few seconds to maybe 2 minutes or so. No more than one entry per member, though you are free to post as many related "just for fun" videos as you'd like.

*****

The winner will receive a Free One Year Premium Membership to Parrot Forums, and the winning video will be displayed on the Home Page for the following month!

*****

Submissions will be accepted from today, March 4th, through Tuesday, March 28th. (Adjust accordingly for your own time zone) At the conclusion of the submission period, a poll will be held to determine the winner.

*****

Good luck, everyone!!!


*Just For Fun!*

Thanks, Scott!
 
Thank you stephen for doing this :)

Parker Has some mad analytical skills!

 
I have a ton of food allergies so there's very few store-baked treats I can buy. Peanut butter cookies happen to be on the list of things I can usually eat, and the grocery store bakery near me has some that are safe for me. Unfortunately, I'm not the only one who loves them.

You're welcome, Chris! My pleasure. Absolutely LOVE the pic of Parker doing his analytical thing, but remember that this month's theme calls for video submissions... and I KNOW you and Parker do great videos. So throw one on in!

Beatrice, that video is hilarious! And I love the control and patience exhibited by Sir Leo as he worked on opening the package. Methinks he's done that before! Lol!
 
Just for fun. The rare occasion Jordan gets along.

Oop, missed that little detail! Sorry! Well just call that a "for the heck of it" posting :-D
 
Lincoln's first success with a foraging toy, I was super proud of him.

Just for fun... so far!

The Rb loves his bell (thank you, Mr. Wrench, for giving it to him). Why does he love it? BECAUSE IT HELPS HIM MAKE MORE NOISE!

JUST FOR FUN....
The artist formerly known as Rickeybird did a fancy new vid of his J-Lo cover, using the mirror-technique pioneered by his idol Prince back in the 90s when he was a teenager.

"Da booty, da booty, it's a big, BIGGGGG booty!
Whatcha got a big booty? On the dance floor!
Bootayyyyyyy!!!!"

Just for fun. Lincoln doesn't understand he has to figure out how to get the treat, not flail around till it falls out :p

And a most impressive one at that! Doesn't let you off the hook for a video though, Chris! Bring it, brother!

And the entries continue to be AMAZING! I'm floored, here! Cuddling budgies and lovebirds, an ekkie discovering the joy of foraging for the first time, a Rickeybird demonstrating his killer instinct (I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of that beak!), and a pirate amazon demonstrating his knowledge of spatial relationships! I'm loving it! Keep it coming!
 
This will be our official entry this month.

Quoth the Rb... "Look at what I can do?!?!?!?
I can rule the roost (including my gigantic featherless hen), that's what!"

lol Stephen, nothing so entertaining. Parkers generally too mellow to put on a show, unless you want a curse word!

How about this, when he's really in the mood he can sing "I love you a bushel and a peck".

Another just for fun video. I was waiting outside for my siblings to get home from school back in September. Elvis came out with me!
