She said: "People may think I'm crazy but my animals are very much part of the family so making sure they also benefited from the win is really important to me. "Once the children had chosen their rooms, there was one spare which I decided to turn into the Parrot Room.' The room features specialist flooring, toys, plants and apparatus to keep them entertained. But it also has a flatscreen TV so the birds can watch their favourite shows. Lesley added: 'I know it's not the jungles of Africa but the parrots seem to be very happy in their room and the freedom they enjoy. "While I have tried to keep it as natural as possible, there's one element that's not quite so natural, a flat screen TV. Both birds love watching the TV, and for some unknown reason their favourite viewing is Dog the Bounty Hunter, they go wild for him. 'When I tell people that I have a room for my parrots at home you can tell they think I am crazy but, while fast cars and jewellery are top of some people's 'when I win the lottery' list, for me it's all about giving my family the best and happiest home, and that includes my parrots.'
