Last time I told myself that I should stop just taking and try to give something to the community. So it's time to start my first competition, which won't be for everyone. It is for bird lovers!

As a little girl, I really wanted a parrot, and I fulfilled this dream about a year and a half ago when I bought Pipiczech. Small Agapornis Fischeri. Lovebirds are social creatures, and so, because we had to go to work and couldn't spend time with him at 100%, I bought him a friend, who eventually turned out to be Pipiczech's girlfriend, Agi. Their co-existence brought first fruits. Well, not fruits but the eggs. We are not breeders, and we live in an apartment that is not ideal for nesting, so nothing hatched out, but it was beautiful to see the little cute white eggs.

A perfect shot doesn't ex... (Pipiczech just winked. Agi's in the background.)

Birds (not just parrots) are the most amazing and funniest creatures for me, and I would like to see more of them on Steemit. There are already some tags, but they are mostly overwhelmed with shitposts, and the pet (or pets) tag contains just cats and dogs. Does everybody really adore only cats and dogs? What about other pets?

I already have enough posts about them, so I decided to create a new tag, where you will be able to meet all bird lovers and share with them your stories, experiences, and advice. So let's create the largest bird community in Steemit together! :)

The new tag will be called #birdperson, and as a motivation, I decided to organize a contest.

It'll be a writing contest, and your task is to introduce yourself as a BirdPerson and to introduce your bird friend (or breeding, or anything that is related to birds).

I would love to know who I can look forward to!

The prize pool is 15 STEEM and it'll be divided as:

🥇 1st place 6 STEEM

🥈 2nd place 4 STEEM

🥔 and 1 STEEM for the next three best articles

4. The title of the article must be "New BirdPerson incoming: 'your title' " (e.g., New BirdPerson incoming: Me and my little birdies Pipiczech and Agi). It will help me identify all competing articles from others.
