Ooo, nice theme! I have a great idea, but sadly the birbeses are all asleep, so I can't bring it to life!

 

[Cottonoid]

Oooh this will be a fun one, Terry!

 

[GaleriaGila]

Oh, this is gonna be wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiild!

I love slinky Slater and his debonair Dad (or, as my jealous husband calls him, "the French-speaking long-hair")... they really set the pace.

Okay, Terry, I'm all revved up now.

 

[Ledagcc]

Well, or maybe a chili costume would be better.
Or just eating a chile.

Awww, something this adorable has to be good etiquette. You rock that pinky, Beautiful Cotton!
I'll say it quietly, but look at the pretty new green feathers I see peeping out

This entry couldn't be more perfect Walmnusts are Jasper's favourite treat and he will dress up or play tricks to get more. Or more likely he will want you to dress up for the honour of giving him another walmnust.

So many beautiful birds!

Just for fun:

Baxter is probably the least food motivated bird I've ever met, but her ultimate treat... scratches and snuggles from dad. She would, and often does, sit there for hours sometimes, just soaking them in. Yeah, she's a bit of a daddy's girl.
