August 6, 201014 yr Aboriginal name for budgerigar is betcherrygah which means "Good Eating". Lots of different names in aboriginal language. Budgerygah is another. The aboriginals would track the birds breeding patterns, and when the fledglings left the nest, and were nice and plump, they would catch them before they could fly. They would cook them much like the kangaroo, burying them under hot coals and letting the feathers singe away. If you like your birds from Australia, you'll want to consider the budgie.
