I will give you this link to the usual ambience soundtrack - only in this case, it is 90 minutes long; I love that and use it as a background sound for working at times (indeed all of these bird tracks), but today, let me bring you a charming wee mini-doc, in which you can still hear the birds, but also learn a bit more about them.
For once, a familiar birdsong. One of the occasional participants in my Friday evening Zoom call with friends in Nottingham has a vocal budgie whose pretty twitterings act as the soundtrack to our chat.
ReplyDeleteCheers! Gail.
they are such pretty birds, and these are here on the west coast of Florida, not as many as there were when i was growing up, but i did see a flock of them a few years ago. they of course were brought here as pets from Austrailia and let go my people and are now a famiilar bird. most of the wild ones are the colors of these, but a few are the blue that man created
ReplyDeleteA familiar bird, of course, but one that I have never seen in the wild. I simply have never been able to visit its outback habitat in Australia. A few years ago an escaped budgie came to our backyard for several days and then disappeared. I doubt that it would have had any latent predator-avoidance skills left after life in a cage, and winter would have finished it off anyway. Quite sad, really.
ReplyDeleteI had a parakeet once - Geppetto was his name. They're such pretty birds and look so much better in the wild than in a cage.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI did have two of these cute birds as pets when I was a child. As an adult I do appreciate seeing the birds in the wild, free as they should be. Thanks for sharing the video. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
Interesting. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteBudgies are such pretty green fine feather friends with beautiful songs

I never knew where those birds came from. It was fun seeing them in their native habitat in the video.
ReplyDeleteA neighbour of mine used to have a Budgie. I always enjoyed going to see it. They have lovely faces.
ReplyDeleteMy uncle used to breed budgies. Love their songs ❤
ReplyDeleteHello :=) It was so entertaining to watch the video and see the budgies in their natural environment. I never knew that they needed to drink so often and built their nests near water.A neighbour of ours had a budgie that could mimic human speech and other noises, it was a beautiful bird, full of character, and it would sit on my shoulder when I visited.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the video. Love seeing these birds in their natural enviroment, and I learned a few things I didn't know about them. Very beautiful and so chatty when the flocks are in the trees.
ReplyDeleteMelodious Parrot seems to sum it up! I have had a few Budgies in my lifetime.
ReplyDeleteThis will be enjoyable to listen too. Thanks for sharing!
