Hello Feathered Friends Lovers,

Welcome again to #SMaP Show Me A Photo Contest!

I am pleased to open round 49 with a new theme which is preening birds. Birds spend a lot of time putting in order their feathers. They use the beak for this very important behaviour as well to spread the so called preen oil to lubricate the feathers. I am sure you have seen how the birds are doing it, but did you manage to snap a shot? Let me see what you have to show me.

The new theme for this round is:

PREENING BIRDS

Here are the example photos I have prepeared of some preening birds.

Now let me see your photis of birds, but first read the rules below⬇️

Rules

Show me your photo of a bird, following these rules:

• The photo must be your own.
• Post in the community Feathered Friends
• You may add more photos, but you should state which one is your entry, otherwise the first will be taken into account.
• Tell us something about your photo/s.
• Your photo must follow the weekly theme.
• Please put the link of your entry in the comment section of the contest post here.
• Put in the title of your post that this is an entry for the contest. (Optional)
• Use #smap as a tag.

Last, but not least - have fun!

If you create quality post with more images and interesting story about them, making extra effort can give you bigger upvotes and attract curators. Keep that in mind.

Prizes

Five winners and each winner will receive 2 Hive or 2 HBD (it depends on the price of Hive) and 100 Ecency POINTS.

I would like to thank our judge @oks2crypto, who is doing such a great job and help choosing among all entries the winners.

Huge thank you Feathered Friends Community and @melinda010100 for sponsoring the contest. I should not miss to mention our most talented artist @barbara-orenya for her constant and creative support.
