you might just be able to hyperlink to a thred on the forum with a unique name "not Bird of the week" have the forum member who owns the BOTW Bird make the thread in rich text then add the additional photo's there in the first post to the thread then members could comment on the BOTW pics and thread in a familiar format. the comments are often as colorful as the origional thread.
