This bird was rescued from a tree, it was being attacked by wild birds. I feed it budgerigar food and it seems to enjoy it.. http://dreamyeyedclementine.wordpress.com/.../03/29/budgies/ It's about the size of a cockatiel, it doesn't have the yellow thing on it's head though...it whistles slightly different to my blue budgie...

Seen as though it is a wild budgie it could have countless diseases that could spread to your budgie.

While the colours of this bird can look like some red rump types, all the red rumps I saw had dark beaks....whereas the blue bourkes have pink beaks like this bird. All the bourkes I saw today were budgie sized....so age and breeding would come into the size aspect.

Also different species should never be housed together in such a small cage due to behavioural and dominance issues, you may find one of them bullying the other.

These two birds have been living together for well over 1.5 years. They have only moved to this new cage at my house for about 6 months. Their previous home was at my boyfriend's house. What I've noticed is that when they use to live at my boyfriend's house in a bigger cage, the blue budgie use to always bully this white bird, but since moving to this new cage, it's been the reverse. The colour of the bird looks more like the Light blue Bourke's Parrot, but everything else looks pretty exact to the cinnamon blue red rumped parrot. I will try my best to get a better picture of the white bird without the bars.
