He said that he is so proud of his two children and says how their smiling faces make him so happy.

Budgieman sent to school again
Don Crown, Budgieman entertained over 400 primary school children in Brent on 10th March 2009. He is invited every year and always goes down very well. Many of the children don't have pets at home and don't often get a chance to interact with animals. Budgieman gets the kids involved by joining in the songs, watching the budgies perform and take part in the tricks. The teachers claim that learning about caring for animals is an important part of the school curriculum. Don later enjoyed school dinners with the children and teachers.

Budgies on TV - did you see them?
Did you see the TV advert for the new Sony Ericsson’s C905 Cyber-shot launched in October 20th 2008? The press release quotes "huge pictures of brightly-coloured budgerigars stand high up against the city skyline, and has crowds of passersby stopping to look in wonder". A still photo from the advert looks amazing. Yes - these are Budgieman's budgies especially commissioned by Academy Films for the advert. The budgies are 10 metres high and appear on the skyline in Berlin, Germany.
Budgieman and his budgies are available for advertising, corporate events, fundraising and private parties. Contact us for details.
