Welcome to the daily contest about birds. I will post a new bird every day and you have to identify the bird, IM the name to me and write about it.
I will try to get the judging done every week day and Friday’s picture will run over the weekend. I will give only three trophies and 300 points for gold. You can write any kind of poem you want and I will choose whatever strikes my fancy that day.
You MAY NOT use the name of the bird in your poem or author's notes or title. You can use similar words (use your thesaurus), otherwise you give away the name of the bird ... which is part of the fun of the contest.
I hope you write and play often.
No adult theme
I hope you enjoy the contest-----I know I enjoy having it.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on May 30
- Rewards: Gold: 300
- Final notes: Thank you for your entries, this is a beautiful bird chosen by maa. I was not familiar with this European bird. His American cousin, is one of my favorites. They are so easy to attract with some thistle and so wonderful to watch.
Thanks again for the entries.
Cheryl
PS I promise to come back and comment.
Busy week for me, my daughter graduated this week.

Sorry
As I live in Australia where we do have beautiful birds, I find this contest too difficult. It is a wonderful idea because there is wonder in it. Best of luck. Lyndon.

Many blessings...

thank you for paying homage to this "blushing" fellow ... my hubby says that this birdie looks like me, because I am blushing so easily ... now I'm going to tell my feathered friends out there that there is a poetry-contest up for them ...
hopefully, the other birdies won't be jealous ...

This is a hard one....
