Where to spot
Native to arid and semi-arid grasslands, woodlands, and scrublands across inland Australia. Feral populations exist worldwide due to escapes from captivity.

Budgerigars are highly nomadic in the wild, undertaking extensive migrations in large flocks in response to rainfall and the availability of grass seeds, demonstrating remarkable endurance for their size.
