Budgerigars in their natural-habitats of Australia have a light green body color with pitch-black markings on their back and wing coverts. In captivity, they have been bred in many other colors like blue, grey, violet, white, and yellow. These very social birds live in large groups. They prefer to eat seeds of grasses and crop plants. These seeds are very rich in nutrients and are equivalent in caloric contents to animal tissue. Thus, budgerigars need no other kind of food. More
