About These Birds
Perruche ondulée
The budgerigar is the third most popular pet in the world after dogs and cats, and by far the most common pet parrot. Wild budgies travel in enormous nomadic flocks that can darken the sky. Males can learn to mimic human speech, with one record-holding budgie having a vocabulary of 1,728 words.
Loriquet de Biak
The Biak Lorikeet is a vulnerable, brightly colored parrot endemic to Biak Island in West Papua, Indonesia. It resembles the Rainbow Lorikeet but is distinguished by its heavier dark barring on the chest and more restricted range. It feeds on nectar, pollen, and soft fruits in the forest canopy, and is threatened by capture for the pet trade and habitat loss.
