WE'VE had a letter from Lenny the budgie -- honest! -- who tells us his owner, Hannah Worsley, from Halliwell, would be completely lost without him.
Lenny is one of the brightest budgies we know and often helps nine-year-old Hannah when she's filling in her colouring book.
He'll be one in November and, in addition to blowing a mean raspberry, can already deliver an impressive array of one liners such as "hello baby", "give us a kiss" and "I'm a little budgie".
But Lenny's talents don't stop there. He enjoys nothing more than a game of carpet football but has been known to cheat by picking up the ball in his beak and making a run for it! Perhaps he thinks he's playing rugby!
Hannah and Lenny have been together since he was a mere baby budgie of just eight weeks and by the look of our photograph, these picture-painting pals will be together for a long time to come.
