Wild Budgies

When you take a break on the road to Arkaroola, South Australia.
This large flock of young budgerigars decided our car and caravan was a great place to hang out for a bit.

glad u were able to survive this deadly carjacking attempt

[ralphmueller]

that's one way to get the bugs off your windshield.

Ohhh look at all the babies! They still have their juvenile feathers ❣

Surreal seeing what is normally seen as a pet in the wild, and there's so many of them, they looked like they were trying to take your car!

Australia, the place where infestations of the most unexpected animals occur.

Great to see budgies in their habitat.Thanks for sharing!

[tehsma]

absolutely feral animals. I'm glad you made it out of there alive.

A flock of budgies is known to clean pick a car in under 20 minutes, so thank you for uploading this terrifying experience!

[fubberpish]

Wow!! Wouldn't have thought wild budgies would be comfortable enough around people to hang out on the car like that!

[ImpossiblyPyro-pigeon]

"sir the car won't budge!"

'I can assure you it can budg-ie.'

[JazzJackrabbit]

Be thankful that this lot was quiet and polite.

If you are unlucky, they will bring their *budgeridoos*

I grew up with budgies, and hearing those little tweets and squacks again brought a smile to my face

[purpleperruche]

I adore budgies
You just made my heart shine with happiness!
I can't explain how blessed I feel to see this!!!

[vemanjadhav]

You're gonna have to go on foot. That car is now theirs.

[OfficiallySnek]

They're like: "Ya, this is our home now, you guys can leave it right here"

As an American visiting Australia, it was incredible to me to see birds like these and cockatoos just flying around in the wild.

This remake of "The Birds" seems much more adorable than I remember the original being.😊🐦💗

[drewlovelyhell]

That may have been my favourite thing about my trip to Australia; the colourful birds. 🐦

[lesliem]

This right here!
You captured such a beautiful moment, budgies in their natural habitat! This is what I call paradise!

[JEBavido]

I’m amazed to see wild birds so unfazed by you getting out of the vehicle within arm’s reach of them!
