English
and Australian Budgerigars
In the wild in Australia the
Budgerigar is a green bird (known as a normal green in the cagebird) but
has been bred by fanciers to now occur in a vast range of colours and
markings.
In England it was developed
to be a much larger bird with a broader and higher domed forehead and
this is the bird now seen on the showbench in both countries.
In Australia the majority
of birds sold through pet stores are the Australian strain of Budgerigar.
Both varieties make excellent
pets.
