Melopsittacus undulatus
These budgerigars (budgies) were in the free flight aviary at Tamworth Marsupial Park. The one in the first shot made me laugh - it was fast asleep in the middle of the path! Budgies are native Australian parrots - in the wild they are green and yellow, but they are a popular cage bird and since being introduced into captivity they have been bred into a variety of colour forms, including pure white, blue, yellow, mauve, olive and grey.
