Budgie
Adventure Aviary
Experience a Budgie Adventure!
Commonly known as budgies, the full name of these gentle, colorful birds is the budgerigar. You might also know them as parakeets. Regardless of what you call them, you can feed them as they perch on your hand in our aviary.
Purchase budgie feed sticks admissions for $2.00 each or 4/$7.00.
Reminder: Budgies are notorious for hiding in backpacks, purses, and pockets. Check for any stowaways before you leave the aviary!
Feed the Animals
Purchase food for the giraffes, alligators, camels, cows, and budgies in admissions or from the Giraffe Hut.
Did You Know?
Australian farmers sometimes consider budgies to be pests since they can travel in large flocks and raid crops.
Budgies, as with all parrots, have two toes that face forward and two that face backwards.
Boy or girl? Look at the area where the nostrils are located. If that area is blue it is a boy. If it’s brown or tan, it’s a girl.
Budgies have between 2,000 and 3,000 specialized feathers on their bodies. Each type of feather has an important job to do from helping the budgie fly to keeping it warm.
On average a budgie takes 65 to 85 breaths per minute!
