Luna loves it!! She has been playing in it & I am getting a few photos.

Great photo! Nothing more enjoyable than seeing a Parrot enjoying themselves. Looking forward to the just for fun photos.
From Laura we have punkin-partyin' patakeets.
From jousze... who ya gonna call? Ghost Eaters!
Codi... wow. All an Eclectus has to do is pose, and there it is. So beautiful.
ParrotLover, Elvis is gorgeous. Those warm Fall colors are really sets off his cool grey and white tones.
Luna, you're so cute that it is hard for you to be scary, but I will say this. You're so CUTE that it's scary! Scary cute!

These parrots of ours must be thinking when we take the photos:
"I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking."

Awww, look at that young'un enjoying his first ever Fall day (judging by his eyes and beak, anyway)! I love it!

You have got some consistently photogenic birds! Beautiful shot!

"Peek-a-boo!" Parrots just have a talent for finding the fun in everything, don't they? And conures more so than most. Awesome photo!

"Chicken" - Sun Conure, rest in peace, my precious friend.
I was browsing through entries and came across this one, and just died a little inside. How creative and adorable! I don't think I could keep my own baby still enough to do a staged photo, hehe.
I don't have a proper camera, so ya'll have to make do with my crappy laptop cam xD
My Official Entry:
My late birdie boy Chicken and I hanging out in my chicken onesie costume
(I didn't see a mention of a photo having had to be taken this year, so I hope this is acceptable! If not, totally ok <3)
And a just-for-fun pic of Bongo and I, her second or third day home:

The Conure-ing! Hahahahahahaha! High comedy! I love it! And yet another superstar showing by Sunny!

Bah, Jim! Hogwash! Poppycock! Rubbish! Balderdash! And any other such term I can come up with for that post! We want to see Amy and the Beebs, and we want to see them now! As Steven said, "Great subjects always make better photos than great equipment." Or great photography skills, I'd add. So stop lollygagging around and jump on in! The water's fine! Lol!
