Thousands of budgies drinking in a never ending spiral pattern, scooping the water up on the wing, floowing the flock up and back down again. It was an awesome sight nd Deb hearing them sure wasn't a problem. I stood there so transfixed Before I thought of getting the camera the show was over.
When the wife and I went to darwin along that road we pulled into a little known spot on the side of the road and 5 babies budgies came down and landed on the car and van to have a better look at us....we loved the bird life around that area....Zebs looking for water so I fill an old saucepan lid for them out of the water tank there.... :thumbup:

Quiet as in silent they are not. Walk down Mum's back yard when they are in chat mode some day. Even 100 budgies can make a cheerful racket.

These 2 seem tolerable compared to the other type which I gave to the grandkids , I dont hear the Bushies , maybe they are using a different tone .
The others used to drive me nuts , never shut up .
