OK folks, it is time to get the New Year (2014) off to a great start with the January Photo Competition.:greet11:

The subject matter chosen by Amanda (Gemini84) for the January competition will be: ~~Baby Bird Pics~~This month we are looking for really cute, pudgy, feathered or not so feathered toddling clumsy Babies. This photo can be of one single member of your flock or the whole group if you have more than one of these adorable little munchkins. Now just because your bird is no longer a baby doesn't mean you can't dig around in your files and find one of your feathered darling lurking about when it was a wee widdle fabie.

This is what Amanda has to say about her subject choice for this month's competition: "I think it will be a cute month and we get to see all those cute, clumsy and prehistoric dinosaur looking pics!":exactly:

And since I know there are many members who didn't get their birds as babies. They got their darlings as full grown fabies and may not have toddler photos to enter. Therefore, for this competition I am going to fudge on the rules (that is bend them ever so slightly) and allow participants who don't have their own widdle fabie photos to enter a photo of a cute fabie that is not in their collection. You must have permission to use the photo from the original owner and you must give the owner recognition for the photo for it to be allowed in the competition. If anyone uses a photo that does not comply with this or if the original owner of the photo objects to its use, it will be disqualified. This is the best way I can help everyone be able to enter into the fun this month.

The prize for this month's competition will be donated by me, De'Andrea (Turquoise). It will be a $20.00 Gift Certificate to the My Safe Bird Store Site. If your feathered darling didn't get enough goodies for Christmas or doesn't think it got what it really wanted, this will give you a chance to make it up to them.:pinkgrin:

The rules are pretty simple:

1. Only one entry per member per competition.

2. Please include a little info and names about your bird(s) along with the photo. It will be used
to identify your entry on the poll along with your username. Also please give a little detail as to why you chose the subject(s) in your photo to best show us your Baby Bird Pic!

3. No copy write photos. Please make sure you are the owner of
the photo you enter.

4. Please, no photos that clearly endangers anyone or animal in any way that may be in your entry photo.

5. All photos to be entered in the competition need to be posted in this thread.

6. And the most important rule of all~~Lets Have Fun!!!~~

The competition starts today, the 2nd of January and runs til the 21st of January.

The 22nd of January a poll will be added by Blanca with all of the photos in order of their posted date.

The poll will run for one week and will close on the 29th of January, unless otherwise noted.

I will announce the winner of the competition and post the winning photo on the 31st of January.

The winner of this competition gets to choose the subject/theme for the February Photo Competition.

So, let the competition and fun begin!!!!:th_cool5:

This is the first pic of Captain Jack I ever had. The breeder emailed it to me. He is somewhere under three months old in this pic but fully feathered.

Hello De'Andrea,

Here is my photo of the baby Cockatiel named "Kuifje" (daughter of my Cockatiel-pair"
Chico (male) & Kuif (female, passed away at the 11th. of October 2013))
This photo is taken at May 31st. 2010 (number 55, CR, 250 x 333) . Cute 29-days old baby Cockatiel is sitting at my hand.
I love this photo. She looks in the camera so cute with her head bended a bit.

This was the first baby Cockatiel that I ever bred. She hatched the 2nd. of May 2010. At this photo she's 29 days old!
She and her 2 days younger sister were so sweet and tame and beautiful. I do have nice memories about that period!
I made at least 1000 photos of her (and/or her sister!) while they were growing up.
I sold her at the 26th. of June 2010, so when she was 55 days old so 7 weeks and 6 days old (to I thought a carring owner).
But some months later I found out the new owner had let her escape from their house.
I was so upset and sad about this awful news.
I cried several nights and desided never ever to sell any of the other Cockatiels that hatched at my house.
That's why I do have 20 cockatiels right now.

I've uploaded this photo size 250 x 333, but it shows very small in this post.
I see that other photo's of others members are much larger shown in their posts. I do not know how to get that same result!

Greetings from the Netherlands,

Rita, when you upload a pic from your computer, it always shows up small, but once you click on it, it then becomes bigger. The larger ones you see are uploaded from Photobucket.

That's a very cute pic :)

Awesome baby photos everyone!! Thanks for sharing and making this a great month of Baby Bird Pics!! :)

There's still lots of time for anyone who has not entered a photo to get it in for the competition. So lets have a bunch more to make it a truly hard decision on which one we will all vote on. :pinkgrin:

Pablo was a very pretty baby! Thanks for entering the competition. :thewave:

We still have 4 days to get Baby Bird Pics in for this competition. We've had a bunch of great shots entered and I want to see even more!:exactly:

I love sitting there going over each photo and deciding carefully which one just grabs my attention and then it gets my vote. So the more photos I have to go over the better I love the voting part!! So everyone who hasn't entered yet, get that winning photo on here before midnight on the 21st :loveit:

Ok folks it is getting down to the wire on posting your photo for the competition. Tonight at midnight Eastern Standard Time in the US is the cutoff. Actually everyone still has time to enter even if it is already tomorrow today in your part of the world!! Blanca won't be adding the post til sometime tomorrow and as long as your photo squeezes past her, I'm betting she will allow it. She's a good girl on that one! :)

Surely there are a few more cute baby bird photos that still need toenter. So let's see them. We can't vote on your darling fabie if you don't enter!!!
