Did you know the budgie is actually a parrot native to Australia? It's so weird seeing them out here. I saw a whole flock of them fly past on one of our hikes the other day. I am so used to seeing them as pets that it's kind of like seeing a pack of toy poodles running by!
The budgerigars out here are all a little bit smaller than the pet store birds though. And they are all green and yellow - none of the other colours that you can buy. I think those birds have been selectively bred. They are, however, just as beautiful and just as lovely to listen to.
