WINNERS ANNOUNCED.....!

THANK YOU to all who entered, and made judging this such a special experience.
I wish you could all have prizes because every bird was unique, from feathering to poise to character. It was a VERY close thing. I loved every entry though (literally) to let you know it was appreciated.

So, without further ado, here are our WINNERS!

Thanks! Cheeto would’ve been honored.

@maadroj, @RoostersAreAwesome, @Henrietta 65, and @nuthatched: please message me with the picture of your winning bird that you would like me to use to make your painting. It doesn't have to be one of the ones that you posted, as long as it's the same bird. I might use any of the pictures posted as reference, but I want to give y'all the chance to decide the pose of your winner!

This is a picture of Cheeto’s typical pose-

His face-

Thanks so much for doing this!

 

[Allthefloofs]

Yay! I'll make sure and let Spots know she got an honorable mention! Not bad for a 4 month old . This was so fun! Congrats everyone, it was so fun seeing everyone's girls. @Dottie the Chicken, thanks for pulling me in, I wouldn't have dipped a toe in without you .

[featherhead007]

You are so welcome! I'm sorry you lost him and I hope you hatch another one day.

(I also hope some other people notice that they've won ...)

Wow, yay! Thank you to you both and to everyone who participated. It must have been so hard to judge. There were so many great pictures and stories!

 

[SulkyBantam]

Well done all, and I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

 

[FortCluck]

Do we get to obtain the drawings or do we just get a pic?

I mean I could print it out I assume then frame it

 

[TheAlrightyGina]

If any of the prizewinners that are receiving a painting want the actual painting, message me your address! As long as you're in the US I shouldn't have too much trouble getting it to you.
