MEET our pet of the week Ian, a very cheeky two-year-old budgie who is owned by June and Alan Unsworth from Atherton.

Their 28-year-old daughter Gemma said Ian can say up to 30 words, including ‘what are you doing?’, ‘what is your problem?’ and ‘give mummy a kiss’.

He also says the occasional swear word.

“I love him to bits,” said Gemma.

“He is a cute and funny budgie but he’s really mischievous.

“His favourite things to do are chewing on mobile phones and just being up to no good.”

If you want your pet to feature send a photograph of them with your name and contact details, including a daytime telephone number, and some information about your pet to newsdesk@leighjournal.co.uk.
