Was browsing a large gardening store that has pets too and came across this little fella/lady... I remember a thread on here a while ago, thought some might be interested.   |

Thats not a budgie I don't believe. I think it is a rosa bourke parakeet.

Hi It certainly is a Rosa. If you want a pink budgie
Wash an albino in a bath with a few drops of food
colourant. It happened lots of times years ago &
was reported in Newspapers as a new colour. Have
to admit I sold a few myself but with the proviso that.
The colour could not be guaranteed not to fade with
age. OK so I was younger then & I seem to be the only
willing to own up.....B.J.
You can get your dog dyed at any grooming parlour..
