I don't believe that bird is a budgie. If I remember correctly, she is a rosella. (?) Or some type of Bourke.

[pipp4]

[Kalahari]

1. It's been dyed
2. It's another bird (more likley)

It looks like a budgie, but as they've said, it isn;t. :P

Its a bourke parrot........very popular in Australia and so cute :)

[A-n-M]

It's a Rosa Bourkes.

Agreed, it's a bourkes. I saw a pair of them at a pet shop once. They are so beautiful, but I'm told they are more for aviaries, not pets. They can be tamed though.

yup, its a Rosa Bourke (i have 2) a bourkes keet doesnt have such a pink body, they have a lot more blue on them all over.
