It's great that she still has budgies! But then.... once you have them it is difficult to be without. Not quite in the same league as HM, but I read this a few days ago.... Cameron Diaz and budgies

I didn't know the queen had budgies. She has more than a 100 looked after by the Keeper of the Royal Budgerigars, Graham Stone, who says she is quite fond of them.

What is wrong with her ? I wasn't sure that 'Keeper of the Royal Budgerigars' could be for real, but just seen another report where it says HM 'once even saved the life of one that caught its leg in wire caging'!

... but then another report says, 'The Queen spotted a bird had got caught in the wire caging, and she told a gardener who called for a vet to save the bird.' Not so impressive

This is the most entertaining thing I've read for days! Now how do you think you become The Keeper of the Royal Budgereigars? I'm after a career change.

I'm beginning to wonder if I dreamt that picture as I can't find it anywhere ! But Shirls , that is absolutely wonderful. I think it needs revealing in all its glory here:
