AdvertisementAstonishing footage has captured the moment thousands of budgies circle the Australian outback in a once-in-a-lifetime event. The video shot in Alice Springs shows the budgerigars in one large group, a sight that hasn't been seen in 10 years. Experts say budgies usually fly in flocks of up to 100 but following a dry spell the birds often form larger groups to seek out water. Mr Carter also said that the budgies have also stayed to continue their breeding which has led to the high numbers in the region. It is believed once the food resources begin to lower, the budgies will soon disappear and move on to find a better place.
