I think you might only be able to view this in the UK.

About 13 minutes in - Lots of budgies!

We are not Vets, Avian or otherwise. If you have any serious doubts about your budgies' health an appointment with an Avian vet should always be your first point of call.

Any other mutations that occasionally popped out were either ostracised or eaten (predators)

I watched this when it was on and I kept shouting "WOWOWOWOW!" lol

I couldn't believe how many budgies there were together. I got all worried when those nasty falcons were after them but luckily the budgies got away

I loved that they out-flew the hawks or whatever they were so well! Thousands of budgies surrounding them and they couldn't manage to catch a single one... impressive!
