I have recently re-homed another Budgie and have been looking up information. I found the following info and thought it may be useful to other Budgie owners, and anyone who is curious about them! Enjoy.

- Budgies can register 150 images per second? Humans can only register 16 images per second.

- They see the world in colour.

- Can hear sounds from 400 to 20 000 Hz and can store sound sequences in their memory.

- Have such a well developed sense of feeling that females can feel when the embryo is moving inside the egg and when the chick is getting ready to hatch.

- They can turn their heads 180 degrees.

- They poop every 12 to 15 minutes. (lovely)

- They have 3 eye lids. An upper, a lower and a third eye lid that it can pull across from the side to protect it.

- Native to Australia.

Excellent information! I just love your Harley,lol!

Lol thanks hunny! I just recorded some 'Budgie sounds' from a website, so I'm going to go and play them to him - see what he does

that sounds so cool, the also have ones where they can teach him how to speak, you may want to have look into that as well!

ooh those are interesting! I especially like the one about feeling the chick in the egg....that must feel strange

hhaha i found some videos on Youtube of Finches chattering and tweeting, and when I played it, my two were fascinated and started chirping back, it was well good

Not tried it with the budgie yet though, might have to give it a go
