Budgerigars are widely distributed in the Australian outback, the eastern, southwestern, and northern coastal areas. Budgerigars inhabit forest edges, grasslands, etc., and move in groups, breeding from January to June, laying 4-8 eggs per clutch. It feeds on plant seeds, etc., and has a lively temperament and is easy to domesticate. The head and back feathers of budgerigars are generally yellow with black stripes, and the color and stripes of the fur are like tiger skin. The top of the head of the adult bird is relatively rounded, the beak shell is very powerful, the base of the upper beak shell is covered with wax film, the upper beak shell is curved like a hook, and the body feathers are colorful and changeable.
The most accurate way for budgerigars to distinguish between male and female is to look at the wax film color of the nose, and the wax film color of male and female birds of different genders and ages is different. Adult and estrus female birds have brown nasal wax membranes, and the wax membrane is uneven, wrinkled, and sometimes even raises a cuticle. Adult male birds in heat, the nasal wax film becomes obviously blue. This period is the easiest to discern. |
