A champion budgie breeder is in a flap after winning £407,000 on People’s Postcode Lottery – and he wants to use the nest egg to buy a new bird. Gerry Dragoonis, 65, said he’ll shell out on the breeding budgie – known as an outcross – to improve the quality of his 120-strong flock. I got back into it about five years ago and I’ve maybe got about 120 birds at the moment. The rest of the £1m pot was shared by players in the wider G75 0 postcode sector. Even though I’ve won this, I’ll still have to go to work this afternoon.
