Project Runway

Last night, Project Runway began its 10th season. On the 9th season of Project Runway, one of the challenges was to design a look inspired by either a parrot, a cockatoo, an owl or a raven.

Cooper was miffed that one of the birds chosen to inspire the designers was not a budgie. So I gave Supermodel Malaria a call and got to work.

Now Cooper wants a whole budgie collection. Sigh.

Meet Sparky!

This adorable little budgie lives in Virginia with Deborah.

Sparky loves to play with his bells and disco ball. He also enjoys going over into the “big boys” cage to hang out with Sunny and Shelby. When it’s time for him to go “home”, I roll his cage in front of theirs and tell him “Go back in your own cage now, Sparky” and he’ll hop right in! He has a toy airplane and likes playing on it and loves it when I put a little seed or a bit of millet in the “cargo” area for him to find.
