Budgerigar or Parakeet

Budgerigars or Parakeet

Budgerigars are called Parakeets in the United States.  They are native to Australia and are green in the wild.  Well, they are green and black.  They are known to flock around watering holes and are preyed upon by birds of prey.  

Budgies are the third most popular pet in the world after dogs and cats.  In captivity some have been bred to be blue but as I said before, in the wild they are primarily green or maybe a yellow-green color.  

By the way, we are about to embark on a trip to the drier parts of Australia where these birds live.  So I am not typing too much right now.  I need to finish packing.
