Budgerigar

Budgerigars are native to Australia, where they live in grassland, woodlands, and scrub and feed on seeds and grains. Naturally green and yellow, they are the most popular pet bird in the world, and budgies in the pet trade have been bred into a wide variety of colors, showing more color variety than any other bird species. They are normally found in small flocks, but when food and water are plentiful they gather into very large flocks, and when food and water are scarce they migrate in search of better conditions. In Australia, farming has made budgerigars more common by providing a constant, regular supply of food and water, although some farmers consider them pests that raid crops.
