How are they even still alive? Australia seems like such a dangerous place, I wouldnβt expect something like parakeets to survive long. Do they just breed like rabbits and survive through quantity?
Not only smart, but they can fight like hell!
There arenβt many creatures that attack parrots.
Theyβre also great at communicating info about predators across a large group and distracting said predators to get as many budgies away as possible. And theyβre very good at maneuvering in the air, a lot of birds of prey that rely on speed over agility canβt turn as quickly
You would be surprised at the amount of attitude birds have here. Usually magpies get a gangsta reputation but do you know who nobody messes up with? Lorikeets.
Yeah, pretty much. They are considered pests down there. Imagine a swarm of locusts descending on your farm, except the locusts are each the size of your hand and are intelligent enough to work together when committing crimes. Thatβs how Australian farmers see budgies.
