They've been coveted by royals and been companions to the great and famous as well as grannies in suburban kitchens around the world. They've been painted by masters, rendered in the finest porcelain and graced fashionable hats and earrings of the highest order.

Beautiful and cheeky, delightful and enchanting, wild or tamed budgerigars are Australia's gift to the bird world.
