Budgerigar

Budgerigars, better known as “budgies” are small long-tailed parrots popular as a pet due to their playful, vocal nature. You can find budgies in our aviary on the farm.

In captivity they can be a variety of colours; blues, yellows, whites and greys, but naturally they are green and yellow with black markings.  You can tell the gender by looking at the colour around the nostrils (royal blue for males and white or brown for females). You can see budgies in our aviary flitting about, preening and enjoying their environment. If you stay very still they may let you come quite close.
