I thought it would be a bit of fun to do something for Euro 2012. In case anyone is not sure what it is, it's a football competition taking place starting tomorrow (8th June) until July 1st. 16 Teams, starting in groups of 4 teams. Then on to Quarter finals, semi's and a final. What we're going to to is have a little competition. Basically everyone can enter one of their budgies and I'll pick 16 of these out of a hat and randomly assign a country that is taking part in Euro 2012 to them. There will be no favouritism, it's going to be totally random. Obviously there are only 16 teams so some people may not get a team but they can always cheer on other members budgies! The winning budgie of 2012 will get a small prize. I cannot enter as I am orchestrating the competition but any other staff member may. I'll give regular (as I can) updates on how things are going in Budgie Euro 2012. Budgies have until we have 16 or more by then I will draw the teams and let you guys know who is who Marianne List of entrants1/ JayJay (Rachael Kellett) 2/ Munchy (Ira) 3/ Busby (Feathers) 4/ Alex (Nicolatom1) 5/ Sparky (Hezz) 6/ Marshall (Rose) 7/ Billie (Beth) 8/ Boo (Stace) 9/ Nev's Bird (Nev90) 10/ Snowdrop (Kim) 11/ Gillybear (Kath/Gaz) 12/ Ada (ppvallhunds) 13/ Puck (MattJ ) 14/ Bezukhov (Sweetpea) 15/ Elfie (Moogie) 16/ Monty (mariannemarlow - prize to be donated to runner up if monty wins)

Busby has been on the lookout for a team and for some reason the England team hasn't pick him so he thought he might be in with a chance here Great idea, looks like he would like to enter Marianne

Some of the staff have had a word with me and made me realise that I shouldn't have asked for photos as some of the budgies are entered into the anonymous June contest.
From now on just post the name of your bird and not a photo. sorry *blushes*..

Okay then Marianne, looks like you need a bit of speed on the wings, (pun totally unintended) so I am offering Sparky as a winger.
