Budgie wins cross-stitching award
A three-year-old budge has been named Young Cross-Stitcher of the Year.
Spike picked up the Cross-Stitcher magazine award after picking up the habit from owner Sandra Battye.
Sandra, 31, of Stevenage, Herts, who nursed Spike back to health after a food allergy almost killed her, said: "She would sit on my shoulder and watch me for hours.
"One day I just sat and didn't stitch. It seemed to frustrate her. Then suddenly she picked up the needle in her beak and began cross-stitching herself. I was staggered. Now I can't stop her.
"She still gets a bit confused at how the patterns work but she is very good at pulling and pushing the needle through the fabric."
Cross-Stitcher magazine editor Cathy Lewis said: "We were amazed by the photos of Spike."
