2012 Calendar Contest Entries Wanted!
By Pamela Lee
*The Mickaboo Bird Rescue Companion* is having a contest to determine which
birds to feature in Mickaboo's 2012 calendar! We need twelve pictures – and
for 2012, we’ll be using themes to illustrate each of the months!
Each month in the calendar will be themed around the events which usually
occur then. Here are a few examples for inspiration:
January: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Day
February: Groundhog Day, Valentine's, President's
March: Ides of March, St. Patrick's, Spring, Spring training, Mardi Gras
April: April Fool’s, Easter, Tax Day, Earth Day
May: May Day, Cinco de Mayo, Mother's Day, Memorial Day
June: Summer, Father's Day, Weddings
July: 4th of July
August: Ramadan, Dog Days of summer
September: Labor Day, the start of school, Fall
October: Halloween, Columbus Day, World Porridge Day
November: Election Day, Day of the Dead, Thanksgiving, Veteran's Day
December: Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanzaa
Examples: One might submit a photo of a pigeon in pants on a beach for
June! Or a macaw shredding a tax return for April! How about a pair of
parrotlets cavorting around a sombrero for May?
See below for how to submit your picture for the upcoming calendar.
