How does a cockatiel celebrate his birthday? With Olympic games of course. Last Wednesday, Hoban’s Biology Club celebrated Sparky’s sixth birthday. Sparky, Hoban’s beloved cockatiel, resides in Mrs. Mohan’s room throughout the year. Members of Biology Club celebrated Sparky’s birthday with Olympic games named after him.
“The Sparky Olympics is a series of games everyone plays together.” junior and third year Biology Club member Jake Belair said.
Members also celebrated with food and by playing with the birthday bird.
Being a member of Biology Club is not all fun and games. Members are also responsible for cleaning the cages of the animals, feeding and grooming them.
“We try to get everyone to play with the animals.” Belair said.
Biology Club animals include tarantulas, lizards, a guinea pig and other assorted creatures.
If Biology Club sounds like fun then hop, jump, slither or fly to Mrs. Mohan’s room, 146 next Tuesday for a Biology Club meeting.
