Wild Bush Budgies in Australia

The budgerigar, or parakeet, the most popular of pet birds, lives in cages and aviaries throughout the world. Yet its true home is one of the hottest, driest and most unpredictable environments on earth, the Australian Outback.

This program is about the incongruity of the budgie as a desert wanderer, and the budgie as a caged pet — with its beautiful colors and lively mannerisms.

But above all, it is a story of survival in the harshest of environments. This is a thrilling documentary.

And what about your beloved pet?

“I have two budgies who I love to death! Seeing wild budgies is breath taking I love my budgies they’re both well mutated so they’re best with me. But I hope they no longer capture budgies because there is plenty of budgies for the pet trade! Let’s leave the wild ones wild and the pet ones well pets!”
