Each month i try to think up an interesting theme idea for the COTM contest, but it's tricky sometimes. So i would LOVE to hear any great idea's you might have! I've been avoiding seasonal themes as we are all around the world here at Talk Tiels, and so our seasons are at different times.

 

[Bonny]

How about "I hope no ones looking" basically them being caught doing something they shouldnt I dont no has anyone else got any ideas??

 

[Kai]

I don't know.... how about "Tiels and their toys."

 

[allen]

how about the wet look
or with them eating there favorite food

 

[Bea]

All good ideas! Keep them coming and i will randomly pick them each month.

 

[xxxSpikexxx]

How about
Tiel and friend
Tiel close ups
Wet tiel
Bad bird (tiel doing something naughty)
Tiel geting scritches

Thats all I got for now

 

[allen]

how about human preening

 

[Betty.Jamie]

"tiels gone bad" - the normally good ones caught doing something bad

"rain drops falling on my head'' - shower / bath or other wise getting clean with water/food pictures

"Family photo" - Tiels with thier other birdy family Rather its more tiels, budgies, etc.

"Sweet hearts" - Pictures of tiels with thier sweeties (rather it's another tiel, dog, budgie etc.) because we know some on species blind and don't realize thier sweeties aren't the same type as they are

that's all i can think off off the top of my head

Tiels in Theater - This would be getting a photo of the tiel where it looks like it could be some famous scene of a movie or TV show...You might even be able to use clip art to add hats or props!

 

[huskymom]

one can be:

Flying
Scratching
if two or more tiels: Syncronized "x"
Bat wings (when they hang upside down wings fully spread)
Big Yawns, Hissing, etc

 

[Kfontan]

Those are all great ideas.


*What about a specific food? Something messy like sweet potato. Or a strawberry festival.
* "Tiel Tantrums" : When they are fussing they make some great faces.
* Tiel with a specific flower.
* Tiel photo with a name of a song that would compliment the photo.
* "Tiels on the Move" : A picture of Tiel sitting in a car, buggy, or other form of transportation.

I hope these aren't too corny.

'Tiel Gymnastics' - get a pic of your 'tiel climbing a rope ladder, doing the splits (from a perch to the food bowl for example), hanging from the roof of its' cage using just its beak, etc, etc. The possibilities are endless, and could be hilarious if you have a camera on hand at the time.

 

[Katta]

I agree with the flying theme. Would definitely be a fun challenge.

Oh, and favorite perches (mom's head, curtain rods, etc)

[funkymonkey4797]

idea

how about "fierce mothers" because my cockatiel Kakoe is a mom now and is going crazy trying to protect her eggs from me and her mate Apollo and how about "eggs" or "babies" because isnt it close to breeding season??

 

[Aly]

I like

"tiel gone bad" a mean face or something...

"rain drops falling on my head''

"veggie fest" a pic of tiels eating their veggies (encourages feeding of veggies for owners too)


"Airborne" Flight pics

"spoiled rotten" tiel getting scritches

 

[kikee]

How about "Nanny Nap"- photos of your teil/s having a rest.

 

[Kerry78]

Tiels getting there heads rubbed by there partner tiel
or just the 2 together like mine on my avatar

 

[Tony's Tiels]
