Budgerigar Country

Hear Budgerigars in their natural habitat - the dry, inland of Australia.

Nesting in ancient, gnarled eucalypts by an ephemeral waterhole, Budgies can be heard calling as they socialise and fly off to feed. Nearby, prolifically flowering eremophila bushes attract Spiney-cheeked Honeyeaters, with their lovely wheazy calls.

Also to be heard are a great variety of desert birdlife, including occasional groups of Cockatiels as they wing overhead, Red-backed Kingfishers, Galahs, Magpie Larks, Mulga Parrots, Spotted Bowerbirds, tiny Diamond Doves, and delicately-coloured Pink Cockatoos.

A subtle and beautiful recording from the home of the wild Budgerigar.

 

Thank you so much! I am playing it now and even though it is passed midnight here in Norway, my budgie - Henrikke - is answering! (By the way she also loves the album "Happy Budgies"!)

Elizabeth, Norway
