Real-world profile
Beyond the blocks,
what bird is this?
Wild budgerigars are mainly yellow and green, with fine black barring on the head and back. Selective breeding has produced many other colors, but they all belong to the same species.
They live in inland Australia, often forming large flocks and moving with rainfall and water availability. The increase in food after rain also influences when they breed.
This page describes the real-world species. For in-game values and interactions, switch to "In the Mod."
