"Me and My Bird" Picture Contest 2008

The 2008 Picture Contest is our first bird picture contest. Perhaps, what differentiate birds from other pets is their sense of humor. Here are some of things you told us:

  • I can always depend on my bird for encouragement, companionship and a good laugh
  • My birds are smart and spunky and bring so much spice to our lives
  • My bird's been more of a friend to me than most people and My bird always knows when I need a good cuddle.
  • My bird warms the hearts of everyone he meets, he is a truly amazing soul.

    Sweet! You told us so much about you and your bird and it was very difficult to pick the winners last time. How about join the 2010 Contest again!

    "This is Scarlett with her man, Dan. They are reading Scarlett's favorite book "Scarlett". It is a book about her adventures traveling in the southwestern states." (The picture shows us the trust and comfort between Scarlett and 'her man'!)

    Suzanne's Sage ("Me & My Bird" Contest Winner!)

    "My husband Chris and our Black Headed Caique Sage." (Like owner like bird, the picture tells a thousand words about the family :-)! Sage is literally "walking all over" Chris but both parties are content!)

    Laurel's Chico and Zifnab ("Me & My Bird" Contest Winner!)

    "Here's Chico (Red-Lored Amazon) and ZIfnab (Hahn's Macaw) hanging out in their new pak-o-bird carrier on a sunny day in San Francisco. Chico and Zifnab are inseparable and they love their new backpack. I have to bribe Chico with treats to get him out of it! " (A pair of very happy birds, unrestrained and trusting!)

    Julie's Peregrim  <font color="red"> (Winner of calendar contest!)</font>
    Andrea's Piper
    Michele's Gaia and Shanti
    Julie's Peregrim (Winner of calendar contest!)

    Peregrim, or Grim for short, is a two year old Cockatiel who spends his days with me hitching rides on my shoulder as I go about my daily activities at home or inspecting his reflection and shadow when I'm out. He's a bit mischievous and tries to nibble on the sides of books as I read (sometimes out loud to him), steal food from my plate instead of his when he thinks I'm not looking, and complains on the occasions I attempt to sing. Yet, he's been more of a friend to me than most people and he always knows when I need a good cuddle. We may make an odd flock of two but I wouldn't have it any other way and if I move west for college he will no doubt be journeying along with me. (Few can say "I love everything about you including your shadow". We are sure Peregrim is helping Julie with her school work now!)

    Andrea's Piper

    "My 6 year old Timneh African Grey is Piper. She loves to go outside into the garden or for long car rides. Our Problem is her carrier. My husband made it for her, from 1/4 inch Lexan (tm)- it is VERY heavy, and if it sits in the sun for more than a few minutes, 's like a greenhouse! There are some many other places we could bring Piper, if we had a better carrier! Due to West Nile Virus in our area, we need something with screening! I have wrapped her caarrier wth netting, but that just upsets her!"

    Michele's Gaia and Shanti

    Gaia is a 5 years old femelle green cheek conure and Shanti is a 3 years old femelle crimson conure. Both are really good friends and travel well together. This picture was taken inside my car while I was taking a break. The birds always travel in a carrier since they don't have their wings clipped. On that day, the weather was nice and I was out picking cranberries. They were outside in the carrier with me until I decided to go back to the car to let them stretch their wings. They love participating in all activities with me but I take them only when it is safe for them. I just love them ! Gaia is a green cheek conure and Shanti is a crimson consure.

    "Kofi is a rambunctious, young Amazon with a love of life and an insatiable thirst for adventure. When not climbing into dresser drawers and chewing up homework, Kofi is seeking love and some gourmet food. I can always depend on him for encouragement, companionship and a good laugh. I guess you could say we're life partners."


    Christina's Kiwi and Gizmo

    "Kiwi is a 17 year old Yellow-Naped Amazon and Gizmo is a 5 year old Senegal. They are smart and spunky and bring so much spice to our lives!"


    Russell's Polly

    "My Amazon parrot , Polly, loves to travel in her Pak-O-Bird! Before we had the Pak-O-Bird I never got to go anywhere, now me and the dog go for rides, now it's a real family affair!"

    Lacey's Shanti

    "This is Shanti. Shanti Means Peace in Sanskrit. Shanti is now 6 years old, and we have had him sine he was weeks old. He is the love of my life. I tell people I would of sat on his egg if I wouldn't of crushed it. Shanti is truly amazing. He does anything and everything. He Loves to Dance, Roller Skate, Wave, Laugh, Dance, and so many other things. We take him on every trip we go. We plan our vacations around him. He loves to ride in the car. He dances to the music the whole way to Florida. He is too too cute. He is the most precious companion I have ever had. I love him with my whole heart and soul. He is very spoiled, but I think every animal should be. He rules our house. He is quite the entertainer, and he gets attention wherever he goes. He even has his 2 cats of his own as pets. My Life wouldn't be complete without this sweet little Man in it. He has my heart, and I love him like a real child. Here in the picture Shanti was sitting on top of Buddha, and he thought Buddha needed a kiss. Shanti warms the hearts of everyone he meets, he is a truly amazing soul, and I am Thankful he is a part of my life.."


    Patti's Digit

    "I have a 12 year old disabled Goffin Cockatoo named Digit. Digit was rescued from a horrific situation and breeder in Washington State. Digit was born with deformed feet, one backwards, the other webbed which makes it impossible for Digit to exist like a normal bird would. When I rescued Digit from the breeder, Digit was running around a dirt covered floor, totally brown in color and at the mercy of large breed birds, little chance of surviving.

    I have always tried to make his life a happy one, as close to allowing him to be a bird as possible. Digit has to live in a cage where all surfaces are totally padded to protect his leg with the backwards foot. I looked for a carrier that Digit could use and found this carrier. Although the perch had to be padded with many towels, this is the first carrier that Digit felt comfortable in and didn't panic when being put in it. I believe its because Digit can see out in numerous directions, the design makes for alot of room for Digit at nightime for his padded bed surface just by removing the perch with ease,We use this carrier everytime we go to our camper, and though Digit has a cage already up there, at the time to go to bed, Digit prefers to sleep in the carrier, thanks for the great design and thought you put into creating this product."


    Judy's Ziggi Gizmo

    "This is Ziggy Gizmo, my Red Sided Eclectus. He is a chimera, which means that he has both male and female reproductive organs. This is why he has the red and violet colors on his breast instead of all green like normal males. Ziggy also has a black streak down the middle of his upper mandible, which not normally there for a male. A male usually has a "candy-corn" upper mandible. Females have a black upper mandible. Ziggy has both!

    Ziggy is a sweetheart, and would love to be the winner of your contest so he could show off his rainbow colors to the world. We'd like to start visiting nursing homes in the area to put a little bright spot in the lives of the elderly. "

He would love to thank you for the backpack, every time he sees it he gets all excited because he knows he is going for an adventure."

    Megan's Johnboy

    "My name is Megan and i have a 7 month old african grey named Johnboy. Johnboy is a beautiful bird with a great personality. He loves to try new things. He plays with his toys and enjoys looking out the window. He cuddles with me and lets me hold him like a baby! He gives kisses and hugs too! He tries to help me prepare his food (but not clean up the messes). He gets along well with our other pets also, (we kinda have a zoo :P). Oh ya, did i mention he LOVES the camera?!? Whenever I take out my digital camera he flies or walks over and poses! I have hundreds of pictures of Johnboy and me! He adores PHOTOSHOOT TIME!"


    Kathleen's Arwen

    My Timneh African Grey ARWEN just loves her Pak-O-Bird! She's been hiking all over the North Carolina Mountains, biking, camping, you name it. We've used her Pak so much it's wearing out. We camp at least once a month and always hike whereever we go. When Arwen sees the pack she starts dancing around saying "Let's GO!" Thank you Celltei!
