The Budgie is a small Australian parrot. It can be found throughout the drier parts of Australia and has survived in the inlands of that continent for over 5 million years. It is also believed to be the most common pet parrot in the world; the Budgerigar has been bred in captivity since the 1850s. There are at least 32 primary mutations in the Budgerigar, enabling hundreds of possible secondary mutations and colour varieties.
