this page is of australian Parrots and like my last half dozen pages is going into the australian Animals challenge. australia has many parrots and they come in all different colors however most come in one color or variations on one color. The exception is our smallest parrot, the budgerigar. In the wild they live in flocks and are all green with yellow face, tail & wing feathers plus some black markings. It is only through chance mutation that we got blue & that was in europe.

After that there were different markings including pied, then grey and no markings. There are two albino forms, white & yellow but until recently there was never a bird with both white & yellow. now we do have a yellow faced white bird with blue feathers but the white faced yellow bird has still to be bread, but that is just time. These pictures are all mine and the pink&grey Galah and the budgies were mine.
