This is our first budgie-related contest, so it's going to be relatively small. Also, this is our first "real" contest so we're still working things out. Don't be surprised if things change about this. Check this post often to make sure that you're up to date.

Contest Overview
- Members will create captions for a selected photo.

Rules
- Only create one post. This is so the staff can easily keep track of entries.
- Please only create one caption.
- Contest will end April 25, which gives you one week to think of a caption. After this date a poll will be created and the voting for the best caption will begin.
- Have fun and be creative!

Prize
- As I said, this is a small contest. The winner will get a medal, 50 Karma points, and bragging rights.

Last week while having my coffee on the patio and watching all my outside birds having a feast at the feeders, I noticed a pretty yellow and green bird in the tree. I then decided to walk over to the tree to see if the bird would come to me, I put my arm out but the little one moved down one branch but then flew away. I went back into the house but kept a eye out and long and behond he was on the ground eating the bird seed, so I got a bowl of my cockatiels food and brought it out to the budgie. The little one jumped right up on the bowl and started eating, so I slowly moved into the house. I was so happy I got the bird I started to cry. I new how I would have felt if I lost one of my birds. I put the little one in the down stairs bathroom on the gym buy this time he was sitting in the middle of the bowl eating away.
The next day my husband made a bunch of signs just saying found bird and our phone number, and hung them up all over our neighorhood and in the mean time I went out and bought a cage for my little yellow boy.
I recieved my first call that night, but it was't the owner, it was another poor man who had lost his bird.
By friday I was losing hope that I would not find this little boys owner. and then the phone rang,
My little yellow bird was with his family again . And I was so happy!!!
