Melopsittacus undulatus
spotted in the tropical Pavilion at the Queen Elizabeth Park, Vancouver.
Gender in budgerigars is shown by the colour above the beak. Blue on a male, and pinkish brown on the female!
ShannaB, yes I had several when I was a child. Two of the green ones mated and gave birth to a pure while albino female. She was my special favourite. She flew free around the house, and sat on my shoulder while I did my homework, nibbling my ear occasionally!
