November 2021 POTM Contest!!

Here’s my first and official post! This is a pic of me and my sweet girl, Peep, taking a snooze. She’s got PTSD from being grabbed by a hawk when she was a baby and has become my much-needed and loving, Velcro bird. She’s doesn’t have a cage like the others but roams freely. I love and adore all my birbs but she’s become very special to me and knows when I need her near. They’re truly amazing companions that touch our hearts in a way like no other animal can!

Such a sweet photo Peep is a very cute girl and you two are so lucky to have each other! Birds really do touch our hearts in such a special way. Great entry

This is Hobs my green cheeked conure and me.

When we got him in August we really had no idea what a companion he would be. Fast forward to October and suddenly I was home recovering from open heart surgery at the age of 32. He has been a constant companion, source of laughter, and snack sharer, through this long unexpected journey.

Oh my, what a touching photo and poignant backstory - my hubby had heart surgery 16 years ago at the age of only 37 so this one gets me where I live. I wish you all the very best for a full and swift recovery! Welcome to the forums indeed to you and the delightful Hobs, and thank you so very much for this wonderful first post and contest submission!

Wow that’s so interesting, you don’t hear of many 30 something’s having heart surgery. I was in and out of cardiologist offices getting ready for surgery and was asked more than once if I was waiting for someone lol. I had an incidental finding after a car accident in September where they found a golf ball sized benign tumor inside my left atrium. Turns out the accident was a true blessing and probably saved my life.

 

[LaManuka]

Oh wow, that must have been so frightening! The car accident would have been enough of a shock but to find a tumour as well, I just can't imagine! That accident most certainly was, as you say, truly a blessing in disguise, it's incredible how that happens sometimes. My hubby had a triple coronary arterial bypass - we were both naturally quite terrified, but his excellent surgeon assured us that it was all in a day's work for him, which thankfully it was. Completely different scenario to yours of course, but that was 16 years ago now and he has barely had even a twinge ever since and I hope it is the same for you

Amazingly gorgeous, poignant image of companionship!! Love to know what they are thinking!!

@Scott I'm pretty sure at that moment, they were having an "I'm taller!" "No! I'M taller!" discussion

Official entry - Blaze and Cinder, the only 2 of their clutch so they stick together always!

Blaze (light) has always been the bigger baby, since day 1, so he's almost like a big brother to Cinder, who is smaller so they remind me of a little sister and big brother. They always huddle together in the nestbox but also don't mind coming out to see their people. Picture taken yesterday.

Blaze and Cinder with their people companions, me and hubby!

Well, alrighty, here is my entry for the
Constant Companions POTM Contest.

I think these were some of our last days in New Mexico, mid-1990s.
The Rickeybird used to love to ride around on my shoulder as we drove to friends' houses, Renaissance Fairs, pet shops. Looking back... how reckless! Gah! That's how we rolled.
Then we moved to Ohio, and a lot of things changed. I became a lot smarter, and more careful.
And I found the Forums...
But the Rickeybird and I are still...
Constant Companions.

Well Aunty G, companions don't get much constanter than you and The Rb, now do they? And neither of you has aged a day in all those years either! No POTM would be complete without you, and certainly not this one Thank you for your entry and give the Rb an extra big kiss from his favourite (only!) Aussie aunty, won't you?!
