My husband and I went to the Montreal Museum of Fine Art today as all of the month of December is free, and what do I find? Some budgie artwork!

This one is called 'Parakeet' by Kees van Dongen, painted in 1910 in oils. The room was very crowded and I spotted it, exclaiming 'There's a budgie!!' as my husband said "What?! Where?". He then shook his head at me, haha.

This is a stamped glass vase by Lalique, a very prolific and iconic jewellry maker in the art nouveau period. This vase was made sometime between 1920s-1940s. The above picture is a 'true light' photo.

Here's one with lower light setting on my camera so you can see the detail a bit better. The budgies went all around the vase. I love it!

Moira, how cool that you found some budgie art in the museum! That's always loads of fun to spot our little ones everywhere
