Grasslands and Savannahs:
- Budgies are commonly found in open grasslands, where they feed on seeds and plants. Savannahs characterized by scattered trees and grassy areas also provide suitable habitats.
Woodland and Scrublands:
- Budgies often inhabit lightly wooded areas with sparse vegetation, known as woodlands. Scrublands, which are ecosystems dominated by shrubs and small trees, are another preferred habitat.
Plains and Deserts:
- Budgies can be found in flat, open plains and occasionally in desert regions of Australia. They exploit areas with low vegetation for nesting and foraging.
Inland River Systems:
- Budgies frequent inland river systems and surrounding areas where water and vegetation are available. The presence of water is crucial for their survival.
Agricultural Areas:
- Budgies have adapted to agricultural landscapes and can be found in cultivated fields, crop paddocks, and grain-growing regions.
Budgies prefer open habitats that provide an abundance of food sources, nesting sites, and water. They usually avoid densely forested areas and regions with excessive humidity. As nomadic birds, budgies often move within their habitats based on resource availability and climatic conditions.
