I’m watching it right now and agree it is excellent. That same thought came through my mind too, but then I thought that’s actually a pretty American issue which is just sad af.
There is an episode of The Americans (one of my favorite shows of recent years - I love Keri Russell) where they are planning a trip to Epcot. I don’t think they end up going actually, but they talk about it several times. (It takes place in the '80s and deals with Russian spies during the Cold War.)
I’m skeptical of this story but it’s super cute, so maybe I shouldn’t bother worrying about whether it’s true!
Ooh! I was able confirm the actual name of the bird. It’s Benny Karl.
Actually, having a pet named Benny is more apropos to Star Wars than Lola.
Way to ruin it. 
I had a bird named Benny!! His full name was Benjamin Coffin the Bird. IYKYK.
Did he have a small Akita?
Named Evita?
Not an Akita, but I called his Birdie Buddy (this fuzzy cloth he could snuggle with) Evita.


Took me a minute to get that last one. 
It took me a sec to figure out what the issue was in the violin one 



I’ve been getting scam phone calls from the “USPS” that they are trying to deliver a package to me and are having difficulty. I’m like clearly you aren’t from around here before I start laughing and hang up.
The spice girls! 
I have seen that sticker before and I think I posted it too
