Today budgies - often called lovebirds in India - are the most popular pet birds in the
world. All the adored cage birds of today are the descendants of parrots. They are one
of the smallest of the world's 330 parrot species which have come down from a plucky
little bird in rural Australia,
Some appear to be about 30 cm long from tail tip to crown, with bulbous, fluffy
foreheads, barrel chests and deep-set eyes. Their colours are striking vivid shades of
grey and green as well as violet and white. Most startling of all are the yolk-yellow birds,
called Latinas that are like splashes of luminous paint. The first colour mutations in
captive birds were blue and yellow. Today, breeders raise birds with rainbow of colours,
birds stay near water when it's dry, but when there's a lot of rain they spread out. They
are sometimes seen nestling on top of tall eucalyptus trees. While some of the caged
varieties would have difficulty flying across a room, wild budgies travel hundreds of
kilometres at speeds of up to 50 kilometres per hour to seek seed and water. Even in
prolonged droughts, the budgie has an extraordinary ability to withstand dehydration.
When deprived of water, budgies can reportedly exist with little weight loss for more
than a month at an average air temperature of 30 degrees. At 20 degrees, some can
apparently survive indefinitely without water, provided they are getting some moisture
from food,
budgies can be excellent mimics and can develop huge vocabularies. Hens may whistle
and can learn a few words, but they are not nearly as loquacious as males, Budgies are
dimorphic upon sexual maturity. Adult males of most colours, except albino and the
very pale pastels, develop a blue colour. Hens have a lilac or tan colour that turns
brownish upon maturity.
