Hi All,

Although the article is poorly written, the content, the pictures, and the video of this phenomena, is quite fascinating and interesting to look at.

Enjoy...

Wow.
I never have seen that many in one place, nor do I ever really want to. Think of how much vegetation they will eat.

Never thought of all the poop that would rain down (although Budgie poops are usually fairl dry and compact, lol)

Regarding the vegetation, I guess it's a fairly wild area, and it does mention that there were heavy rains, and therefore lots of growing grasses for them to eat.

It's simply amazing to see such huge flocks. I would imagine you can hear them from quite a distance away.... I know I can hear my two all over the house

Sparrowsong98 ...budgies are endemic to Australia's natural ecosystem and have been 'forever'...what they eat is part of Nature, here. It is the introduced 'pests', that are a worry, as to what they consume and also the damage they inflict upon the fragile ecosystems that make up our environments...
Thanks for posting lovezebs - wild budgies are a delight.
I love hearing the chatter in the early morning, made by our mob of budgies...great way to begin the day.

Lol that's a lot of budgies. I love the noise of budgies, and I really enjoying listening to my 5. They probably don't seem as loud when they are outside compared to when they are inside tho lol.
