If you own a budgerigar the chances are you'll already know that budgies are natives of Australia - they don't occur naturally anywhere else in the world. You probably also know that Eucalyptus trees are native to Australia
too
But did you also know that for over a million years, budgies evolved alongside eucalyptus trees and they have a special relationship with them?
The smell and taste of the Eucalyptus tree is still imprinted on all budgies no matter where they live in the world from the deserts of Outback Australia to the bird cage in your lounge room.
Now, here at Budgie World you can buy your pet bird toys and perches made from Eucalyptus trees and even the fresh leaves that budgies crave.
Although budgies were taken out of Australia 160 years ago and bred all over the world they still hanker after the taste of their natural food. And with good reason - Eucalyptus branches and leaves act as a natural tonic to
your pet bird.
Budgies are extremely adaptable and they’re fed on all kinds of foods in countries all around the globe but only a few species of grass seeds and the leaves, bark and nuts of Eucalyptus trees are natural to them. It may seem to us like a boring diet but it’s
their natural food and they’re never healthier and chirpier than when they have a Eucalyptus leaf in the bird cage to chew on.
Eucalyptus trees have remained pure, they haven't been cross-pollinated with any other species. So too with the budgerigar. Since it was distributed around the world back in the 1840s it hasn't been interbred with any other species. The Eucalyptus tree and the budgie
have retained their affinity with each other.
In the pages of this web site you’ll find products that are not only 100% organic but are the most natural products you can give your budgies. Our products are the only budgie specific products available on the net and are made from the 5 species of Eucalyptus
trees* that wild budgies roost in, breed in, nest in and eat.
I hope you’ll enjoy browsing the pages of our web site.
