Being part of a flock is very important to wild budgerigars.
If for example one bird takes off to drink, the whole flock will follow.

This is not just because budgerigars love to be together, but it also works as a precaution against possible enemies.

Awww, poor budgies. They sure were excited about finding water :)
ReplyDeleteYou know, I still think that's why our budgies always start twittering happily when it rains ^^
