About These Birds
periquito-australiano
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.
Black-lored Parrot
The Black-lored Parrot is a vulnerable, medium-sized parrot with vivid green plumage, a red bill, and distinctive black lore patches between the eye and bill. It is endemic to Buru Island in the Moluccas (Maluku Islands), Indonesia, inhabiting primary and secondary forest. It feeds on seeds, fruits, and berries in the forest canopy, and is threatened by habitat loss and the wild bird trade.
