This documentary shows the life of wild Bush Budgies in the Lake Gregory area of Western Australia (near the border with the Northern Territory).  We won’t be going to this area on our trip in February, 2014 but we will be going to other areas where wild Budgies can be seen.

The first 11 minutes is beautiful and free from gory predation scenes which I personally don’t want to see.  If you hate predation scenes or sad death scenes, then close your eyes at:

14:05 snake crawls into nest & eats baby budgie

19:50 baby budgie drowns while trying to fledge (and the camera crew just stood around and did nothing)

22:29 falcon attack

24:45 another falcon attack

You can tell when to open your eyes when the narrator changes the subject.  I was thankfully forewarned by the comments on YouTube.  I know this is a fact of life, I just don’t want the images in my head.
