Budgerigar

Range

Budgerigar’s are distributed throughout drier parts of Australia.

Facts

The color of the budgerigar’s cere (the area containing the nostrils) differs between the sexes, being royal blue in males, pale brown to white (nonbreeding) or brown (breeding) in females, and pink in immatures of both sexes. Some females only develop a brown cere during breeding season which later returns to normal.Budgerigars in the wild are not only smaller than captive bred budgies, but are also only found in their natural green and yellow coloring. All other colors were bred in captivity.
