Oh poor budgies.

I really found this ad shocking! I hope it's an illustration and not a photo :-P

That is the most offensive, adorable thing I've seen in a while.

I know it was made at a time when people didn't consider how cigarette smoke was bad for animals though.

The birds are well illustrated (I also think it's an illustration).

I think you are right - the budgies are a little small and I can't see them sitting still long enough.

The past is such a different country! Whenever I see those vintage ads for a big box of cigarettes for Christmas, it always blows my mind. It helps to understand the past, but it's so hard to get in that mindset :) I have enough trouble accepting how unsophisticated music videos were back in the day :)
