#budgies

Sharing these little guys again now that they're in the new fundraiser shop. They can be found here and here on shirts, scroll down for stickers and other options.

As always EVERYTHING I EARN from my shop is for my best friend, a Palestinian PhD student studying in America. The money is sent home to support his friends and family in Palestine and around the rest of the Levant who are being hurt directly and/or financially by the genocide in Gaza, the raids and economic devastation in the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries.

Between the big boost @todaysbird gave me early on and the amazing promotion from jabaddams on Instagram, bird lovers have driven a huge amount of the traffic my shop has gotten. I am forever grateful for this, and as a huge birdwatcher myself I am so touched by how amazing other people in the hobby are. Another bird lover on my Instagram suggested budgies so that's why I made these little guys.

Went looking for the well known photo of the budgie playing the piano (you can imagine why it's on my mind today) and ended up finding the photographer, Sparrow Townsend, and to my infinite delight even more photos! Her two old WordPress blogs [Link] [Link] are a treasure trove of birdies in Situations, all the sets she put together herself.

Highly recommend checking her stuff out. She definitely deserves some recognition, I think a lot of us have probably seen at least one of her photos. I also found an article about her cockatoo [Link]. It doesn't seem like she's published photos as a collective anywhere since the Wordpress in 2015, at least as far as I can tell.
