Budgie Sounds! The calls of wild budgerigars (parakeets) in outback Australia

Over 80 minutes of budgie sounds & calls of from the Australian outback. Many flocks of wild budgerigars (parakeets) were feeding on grass, and pairs were nesting in the nearby eucalyptus trees at this location and the sounds of them flying around & calling were a constant feature of the soundscape.
I recorded this audio in 2020 in far western New South Wales after a few weeks of good rain which had triggered the budgies to breed in large numbers. The budgerigars would often be seen in noisy flocks of over 500 birds and were nesting in tree hollows along creeklines. Other species heard in this recording include Red-backed Kingfisher, Diamond Dove, Crimson Chat, Chestnut-crowned Babbler, Bourke's Parrot, Rufous Songlark, Singing Honeyeater, Willie Wagtail, Masked Woodswallow and Zebra Finch.

This is magic. I'm heading up there next week for a few months, can't wait for these soundscapes!

[@WildAmbience]

Have a great trip - the conditions should be good out there again now, hopefully the roads have dried out a bit!

Thank you ! This is the only vid I could find that features the sound of wild budgies in their natural environment. My budgies love it. At first they were looking around for the birds, now they’re just in the groove... singing along

Very cute. I like the zebra finches in the background too (their call reminds me of squeaky toys!)

[@WildAmbience]

Yeah they make lovely sounds.

Thank you SO MUCH for this! My budgie LOVES this moreso than the happy budgies we usually watch in the aviaries. He's been a little depressed with his best buddy (my husband) away for almost a week, but he perked right up at hearing this. Started chirping, even dancing, and playing again! He got mad and fussed at me when it ended, so here were are playing another round!
