May-June 2008 Your Birds results are in!
Yes, you've had to wait. Yes, it's worth it! To see the winners of our latest Your Birds photo contest, check it out here.
Congratulations to Jessica Leffler of Athens, Ga., for her first-place photo of Nick-Nick, a red-sided eclectus made cross-eyed by a great big down feather stuck to his beak. Too funny. Jessica and Nick-Nick will enjoy a $50 gift certificate from our photo contest sponsor, The Perch.
Second-place honors and a $25 gift certificate go to Aly Haita of Plantation, Fla., for the photo she submitted of her cockatiel Baby tenderly caring for her first egg. Thanks for entering, Jessica and Aly and everyone else who participated in the May-June shoot-out. It was tough choosing just two winners!
Deadline for the July-August Your Birds photo contest is June 10. See you then! (And remember, only one large photo per family per contest, attached or embedded in your e-mail. Thanks.)
