July-August 2009 Your Birds photo contest winners!
Individualists stand out even in the bird world. That's why a conure that refuses to conform gets first place in our latest photo contest! Congratulations to Darshani Sukumaran and his eight budgies and conure, Moki, who refuses to sell out by perching upside down in a world of right-side-up perchers. They win first place and a $50 gift certificate to The Perch. Way to go!
Cassius, a hawkhead showing off his feathers, wins second place. Congrats to his owner, Jill Warner, who gets our second-place prize of a $25 gift certificate to The Perch.
The deadline for the September-October 2009 Your Birds contest is August 10. The rules are: one JPEG, minimum 250 by 250 pixels, preferably attached to the e-mail. Please include at a minimum your first name, city, bird's name and bird's species. If there are people or unusual surroundings in the photo, it would be nice if you identified them.
We look forward to getting more great photos of your birds!
Turn on Bird-Tube
You can stop sifting through all those videos on You Tube to see your favorite clips. Bird-tube.com, created by Joe Arbogast of the BirdSafe Store, is for birds only. My favorite so far is the conure that keels over when his owner "shoots" him with a finger gun. If you have a parrot video you'd like to share with the world, head on over to Bird-tube.com, register, and upload!
