Interesting facts about Budgies You may not know about

Budgies are some of the most popular cage birds in the U.S. today. People love them for their colors and their ability to sing, but there are a lot of interesting facts about Budgies that you may or may not know. You would be surprised to find some of the facts about Budgies that you never knew before. You can find these facts quite amusing, and you'll probably want your Budgies just a bit more after you've learned these facts. Without further ado, please read below for some fun facts.


Budgies can record 150 frames per second. Imagine that! With such a rapid speed, an old school film look very strange to them. Even with film, which moves in the direction of 60 frames per second, they can almost see them moving. For humans, they can only record 16 frames per second. This means that if the film was moving at 8 frames per second, can see a sort of rotating images. It would be extra slow to Budgies.


Budgies also has the ability to see color in the world. They will have no problems registering different colors. No more black and white film for these Budgies. They want to see everything in colors!


Another interesting fact is that they can count. Yes, they have the ability to count. Can they count up to 10,000? It is unfortunately not possible. But they have the ability to count up to three. It is absolutely fantastic. This is because they can save a bit of memory in their brains. For example, they can hear a selection of sounds from 400 to 20,000 Hz and could save them a bit. So to think that birds are not intelligent would be a big mistake. Actually they smarter than most animals.


One more thing, they are a bit like owls in the sense that they can turn their heads 180 degrees. Is not it interesting? They would have so much fun during Halloween. Which also gives them a great visual. This is because in their natural habit, it is important for them to be able to look at all directions, so they are not being attacked by predators easily.


Finally, one more interesting fact is that they go to the bathroom a lot. While you would think some other animals, go to the bathroom a lot, but Budgies will beat this easily. They go on all twelve to fifteen minutes. It is quite impressive, and you would have to clean up very often, if you were to take your Budgies to places. Good thing that typically they like to live in their own birdcage. Otherwise it would be a big nightmare.


After all these fun facts, you hopefully will find more enjoyment in your pet and you can begin to feel some of the acts they do and appreciate them for the fantastic creatures that they are. Be sure to look for more interesting things, maybe you can find more for all to enjoy.
