Thousands of budgies are flocking to the outback of Australia thanks to perfect breeding conditions across the country.
Mark Carter, Alice Springs bird watcher and trained zoologist, said that the region has not had a budgie event this big in 10 years.
He said that there are a few factors as to why the numbers have exploded. "It's a combination of things.
We had rain at the perfect time here and they bred up in other parts of Australia and gathered here," he said.
