    How are they even still alive? Australia seems like such a dangerous place, I wouldn’t expect something like parakeets to survive long. Do they just breed like rabbits and survive through quantity?

      I feel like Australia isn’t as dangerous as you think it is

        Not only smart, but they can fight like hell!

        There aren’t many creatures that attack parrots.

      You would be surprised at the amount of attitude birds have here. Usually magpies get a gangsta reputation but do you know who nobody messes up with? Lorikeets.

      They’re also great at communicating info about predators across a large group and distracting said predators to get as many budgies away as possible. And they’re very good at maneuvering in the air, a lot of birds of prey that rely on speed over agility can’t turn as quickly
