What can learn to speak many human words all without a voice box?<br />______________________<br /><br />How can you tell apart male and female budgies? Are grass seeds actually really nutritious? How big can budgie flocks get to be? What does zygodactyl mean? What’s a budgie’s daily routine? Today with your host, Devon, and co-hosts, Chet and Cap, and two special guests (Devon’s pet budgies, Budgly &amp; Rex!), you will learn the first half of everything there is to know about the Budgerigar, <em>Melopsittacus undulatus</em>.<br /><br />This is the first part of the Budgerigar.
