Somebody on the Rules Commmittee asked me to say a few things. I know al the regulars know this "contest" is just for fun, and really is a chance ot brag on a very nice bird or two and is not designed, intended or meant to get anybodys competteive juices flowing to the point they worry about this thing...and the 10$ is a pure donation to freddy for the board..but for the new folks , the prizes are nice and the honor system has not had any serious issues yet. It does require a photo of the bird though, right Hody?
