Tweet Tweet Parakeet: Facebook Offers Budgie Stickers

Love is a pair of budgies billing and cooing, in Facebook's Tweet Tweet Parakeet set.

Melbourne-based Artist Melanie Matthews has created a wonderful collection of budgie stickers for Facebook. Members of the social media site can apply animated GIFs from the "Tweet Tweet Parakeet" set to their comments and Facebook messages. The wide selection of adorable keet art is offered for free.

Twenty images of pudgy budgies help Facebook users express their feelings.

According to the artist's rep, the Jacky Winter Group, Matthews based the sticker set on her beloved budgie Pippin, a bird with a lot of character. The budgies pictured below were found on Matthews' @MelDraws Twitter page.
