Dave Richards - Budgies Over Alice

For another budgie clip from alice Online , this time time showing the more intimate lives of budgies go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hh6tvRXeHNoMeanwhile this film records a relatively rare phenomenon around Alice Springs: massive flocks of budgies. Galahs and ringneck parrots are common enough in Alice Springs, but budgies are only seen after good rains. They are an amazing sight. As Meg Mooney writes at www.aliceonline,com.au:"These birds are magnificent synchronised flyers. They wheel around in unison, so hundreds of birds flash bright green and yellow as they catch the sun. The flocks break up into groups and reform in endless patterns, like schools of fish or swarms of insects. Who would keep budgies in cages if they could see this?"
