Re: Wild Budgie in Virginia Is It Possible?
Posted by Mallori on 12/15/07

    Kim,
    Some how I am not surprised by the possibility of wild budgies
    in Virgina. Parrot type birds can live in areas that get much
    colder than their native lands with weather aclimation (the
    bird getting used to colder and warmer temps by the temp
    slowly fluxuation as nature does). There are Quakers and Monk
    parakeets in Chicago and they are banded in many states due to
    the fact they are colony nesters. So don't be surprised if
    you see a budgie flying about same with cockatiels and other
    parrots.
