Budgies galore

Check out this link from Australia's ABC on massive flocks of Budgies in outback Queensland (nowhere near where I am).

Wow! That's a LOT of birds. It this a migratory thing where they are all bunched up like that?

Joan, they don't migrate as such, but being opportunistic breeders, are gathering in massive flocks due to ideal breeding conditions.

That's beautiful. I am so fond of budgies - wish I could hear them . . .

WOW......hmmm....WOW! Lots of escapees! LOL Nice to actually see them in the wild. Thanks Margaret!

Here are a couple of you-tube links to them:

Now that's unbelievable! I'm happy to know that not all of these beautiful birds are stuck in cages. This sure would be something to see!! Thanks for sharing it Margaret. I was hoping this area was closer to you.
