Tens of thousands of budgerigars are collectively looking for water?

It's really spectacular Tens of thousands of budgerigars collectively look for water.

According to 10 and 13, recently, Steven Pearce, a wildlife photographer, photographed a spectacular scene in the suburb of Alice Springs, Australia: more than 10,000 budgerigars gathered in a puddle to drink water, and the bright green feathers of parrots contrasted sharply with the dim desert, as if a green "tornado" was blowing.

Steven called this scene "rare" and "unique" because it can only be seen after a rare drought. A bird-watching guide told him that these parrots have been collectively looking for water for several days, and they can only spend a few seconds to replenish water at a time, and then they must fly away quickly to avoid becoming prey of other animals.

Steven said: "In the desert, water is the limiting factor of all life. When the smaller puddles dried up, these parrots were forced to look for bigger puddles. "

According to the Australian Museum, the number of parrots is usually around 3- 100, and the parrot group photographed by Steve is composed of tens of thousands of parrots, which is very rare. Budgerigars feed on herbs and grass, and only when there is enough rainfall will they come out in droves to find water.
