All the entries were great. Thank you all, but when I saw that Cat ~~nip~~ nap, I had a feeling it would win at last count.

I'm out of ideas so if you wish to select a theme I'd appresciate it.

I loved the theme last week. I think those pictures are some of my favorite from the last year.

If I knew how to use the search feature, I'd look for the list of ideas that was compiled several months ago.

Congratulations JD and runners-up.

I've been wondering what kind of bird that is in Simone's photo. He reminds me of the Mynah bird I had when I was a kid, only his coloring was different. (Black with yellow wattles).

Is it a photo taken outside of a wild bird, Simone, or is he/she an indoor pet?

I like him, he's cute!

Or to get it started anyone can.

Arts, the bird is a young magpie so he's not changed to his full black and white. He was a wild bird not a pet although I did consider all the magpies at Kooralbyn to be my pets.

Thanks Simone. I never would have guessed he was a magpie. We have them in the U.S. too but I've never seen one. I was reading that black-billed Magpies (found in the western U,S,) will hold a sort of "funeral" when they come upon a dead magpie. Up to forty birds will gather in a tree and call out raucously for 10-15 minutes and then they'll all fly off in silence.

Kind of like the way elephants honour their dead by scattering their bones.

Animals are amazing.
