Well in NZ, aren't they actually native there? Or do you import them from Australia? In either case they would be a more or less "native" bird for you there, wouldn't they? Lots more to choose from.

Here they are totally imports (originally, my mother got wild-caught birds when I was a kid but that's been illegal for decades now) and most people get them from the chain pet stores, who get their birds almost entirely from bird mills since the importation of wild-caught birds is pretty much a thing of the past.
I don’t think we have wild budgies here in NZ. I’m guessing they would have originally come from Australia but they just come from budgie breeders now.
