The Budgerigar is one of Australia's beautiful parrots. They are essentially a dryland bird of the outback, but when conditions are right after good rain, this species breeds quickly in huge numbers. They can form flocks numbering in the hundreds and sometimes in the thousands. A truly spectacular sight.
The Budgerigar is also a well-loved pet bird, possibly the most popular cage bird in the world.
