Budgerier (Melopsittacus undulatus) This tiny

bird is commonly called a parakeet or canary. It is

native to the Australian interior. The wild budgerigar

is green with a yellow head and wavy black and

yellow patter to the black feathers but mutations are

common in pet birds. Escapees have formed colonies

in localized urban areas along the Gulf Coast from

Crystal River to Ft. Myers and in Ft. Lauderdale.

not like a university to get it so wrong.. Unless the error is in the publication.

You'd think they'd be able to spell "Budgerigar" right don't you?

I don't know if I could trust an article that had such bad spelling.

I know pretty crazy huh...

It's less an article and more a dpertment of wildlife info sheet, it's full of typos and errors and certainly wouldn't be accepted into any reputable journal. I do find it a little concerning that it was revised by a university biology prefessor though and he didn't even pick up on the errors
