This is jessie holding a 10 p coin in her mouth. she took it out of my money change jar to play with it and throw it around the room.
idea for my theme: because my budgie loves to pick up coins and play with them,we have started a tradition, where everytime she picks up a coin or a note/bill to play with, we put it in the ''Budgie Jar'' and at the end of each month i use her ''pocket money'' that she has ''earnt'' through playing, to buy her some tasty treats.
(this is only my 2nd attempt at photohop, sorry for the bad quality)
