They are extraordinary birds, these green creatures with their strange sounds and chicken-like behavior. In New Zealand, their homeland, they are nearly extinct, but around the world, there are people who have taken a liking to budgerigars and are successfully breeding them. But what should one consider when keeping them, what do these parrots eat, and where do dangers lurk? The author provides an introduction to the characteristics of this bird species and thoroughly explains what conditions need to be created for budgerigars to feel comfortable.
